To be clear---How many 00 enteric coated capsules filled 3/4 of the way, have the same effect as one teaspoon of 6X enzymes? In other words, with two cups of food, do I give two capsules, or four? I am just now getting to this, with Nina being here for just a week and a half. She's doing great, BTW,...

Kelly, just in case, like in my circumstances, the cost of the official test is prohibitive for you, you can buy this test. It is not definitive, but if her condition is not EPI, you will find that out. https://enzymediane.com/product/schebo-pancreas-elastase-1-quick-canine-test/ I used it on Tucker...

I'm making a choice to give Nina one slippery elm capsule, and to start transitioning her to grain-free TOW. I gave SE last night, and her poop was about half the amount.

I tried making capsules when Tucker was sick, but 4 teaspoons enzymes/day is a lot of capsules. I ended up being given some Creon capsules , and I agree that was nice, but also outrageously expensive, here. It's always nice to hear what works for different people. Sometimes you can get ideas for dog...

It all makes sense! The connection between gut health & the immune system, plus all the stress of everything. Here in FL, though, you have to protect from heart worms. The Seresto Collar stays on for months, but next time I do the revolution I'll take it off for a day or so. However, this girl i...

So I did skip B12 tonight, but even if she has firm stool tomorrow I won't be able to assume that was the culprit. Her B12 is low & she needs it. I did put in an order for TOW grain-free, and at some point I'll transition over to it. Her poop wasn't awful, a bit like soft serve, but there was a ...

Would there be any reason why one Wonderlabs B12 capsule would make Nina's poop softer & more voluminous? I am following the directions I was given to a "T", but she is pooping differently than she did the first time...that was after her last feeding on the trip. The food she eats is 3...

My hound (not epi) has had issues with hers---it gets darker when something is stirring in there---but usually increasing the amount of pumpkin I give her as a preventive, can clear things up. For an EPI dog, I think you would just give 1 teaspoon of canned pumpkin. The fiber helps push things throu...

Andrea, it is so very Zen.

Olesia, I will start B12 today.

SHE'S HERE! Nina is a sweetheart. She has met all our dogs, and the only one she has been grumpy with is our little Maltipoo, Ruthie. Everyone has a problem with Ruthie; you might say she's a "witch with a 'b'," who wants what she wants, but we do love her so. And now that the scolding of ...
