She bagged it brought it in to the Vet and it was confirmed to be round worm. So all of her dogs will be tested and then treated. Her concern is what...

    I am going crazy ... is it EPI or NOT

    I dont think you did anything wrong by going and getting a second opinion. I sure did speak to other vets about my girls Digestive problems. And I will continue to research and see other Vets if she needs to. I think you did the right thing. You want Roy to be healthy and happy. I use both...

    I am going crazy ... is it EPI or NOT

    If I were to give her Yogurt her Tummy would start making some loud gurgling noises. Her bowel movement would then have lots of gas and very stinky. It was also very runny and would contain blood. Also not to be gross it also looked like she passed bloody guts with it. Scared the heck out of me...

    I am going crazy ... is it EPI or NOT

    Hi Just a thought. I have a dog with EPI,Malabsorption and IBD. One thing we did find is that she cannot handle any Lactose. That included any food (Kibble)that has any dairy source. She also does better on one Carb source and one protein source.

    Epi

    Hi As far as I knew they ran Blood tests and they cultured her stool. I believe the blood test was checking for bacteria by checking her folate and cobalamin level. I'm not sure if the stool culture would how SIBO but it ruled out other bacterial problems. Here is a good site...

    Epi

    Hi JR0579 Epi can be very Overwhelming. I was too when we were diagnosed. That site though is a good wealth of info. But as a newcomer to it you can go into overtime reading all the files. Also each dog is different on the amount of Enzymes needed. The nice thing too is they bulk order...

    Need suggestions on Food

    Thanks I should mention that I have tried Fish and potato and no one would eat it. That goes for Duck & Potato too. I would have thought they would gobble it down. So that leaves Buffalo and Vension. Venison can be rich in itself though. The Canidae does have the Turkey in it which if fed...
