Storage mites

Post by Floramac » 22 Mar 2019, 14:49

As we have found out, Kenzie has an allergy to storage mites amongst other things! We have sorted the food but what about Panzym powder and Tylan? Will they get storage mites?
Kenzie diagnosed Sept 2015. Fed 3 times a day on Millies Wolfheart, Panzym enzymes 1+ tsp per 120grams food, 1/8 tsp tylan twice a day, altenate 1/2 b12 per day. Also on 1 previcox a day for arthritis in paws and 1 Apoquel for allergies. Diagnosed with poor heart contractibility Sept 2020, on 1 Vetmedin twice a day. 2nd heart scan March 21 shows little deterioration so appear to be working.

Latest TLI was 5.5 Previous readings have been TLI - 3.4 and 4.2.

i have the same issues

this is what I invested in

https://www.foodsaver.co.uk/vacuum-seal ... m-sealers/

as you can see if you look at the vacuum sealers. they are massively reduced

and are perfect for sealing food

I just pack my Panzym into small amounts and in the sealer, done and good job, nothing can get in, same with Tylan

a good tupperware container would work, but a small one, you dont want much air

Olesia, the founder of Epi4Dogs and our Director of Research, her EPI dog has an allergy to storage mites - she recommends freezing the dog food to kill the storage mites.
Madelon, owned by DOC. DOC dx EPI 5/2015 = TLI < .4, B12 406; Folate >24. DOC taught me so much and together we battled and overcame EPI, food sensitivies, environmental allergies but we lost the cancer battle. DOC was dx with hemangiosarcoma 5/2022 and crossed the rainbow bridge July 24, 2022. He is and always will be the love of my life, my soulmate, my heart dog.
