<p>Hi Ashley,</p>

<p>I'm sorry for responding so late, I had a double bypass almost 3 weeks ago and then last week my computer crashed. I just borrowed a laptop. Anyways, my Sadie was diagnosed with EPI 3 yrs ago. She is doing very well with powder enzymes. Its a very manageable. I give her 1 tsp. per cup of dry food add about 1/3 cup of warm water (just enough to soak everything) mix and let it sit for 45 mins. I joined an amazing support group called …</p>
<p>Hi Ashley,</p>
<p></p>
<p>I'm sorry for responding so late, I had a double bypass almost 3 weeks ago and then last week my computer crashed. I just borrowed a laptop. Anyways, my Sadie was diagnosed with EPI 3 yrs ago. She is doing very well with powder enzymes. Its a very manageable. I give her 1 tsp. per cup of dry food add about 1/3 cup of warm water (just enough to soak everything) mix and let it sit for 45 mins. I joined an amazing support group called "groups.yahoo.com/group/k9-EPIGLOBAL". They can help with all sorts of questions. I also get my enzymes from <a name="yui_3_16_0_1_1400346866258_5274" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1400346866258_5274" href="http://www.enzymediane.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" shape="rect">http://www.enzymediane.com</a> which is like 1/3 of price of enzymes you get from the vet. Theres another great website called <a href="http://www.EPI4dogs.com" rel="nofollow">www.EPI4dogs.com</a> that's is very helpful too. I hope this is help. Please let me know if you have any questions. You can also email me at <a href="mailto:gwblbgwb@yahoo.com" rel="nofollow">gwblbgwb@yahoo.com</a> if you want to me contact offline.</p>

<p>I'm waiting for Liz to be able to get online and post, but her Sadie is going great! She also gets the enzyme powder over her food and she's happy and a good healthy weight.</p>

<p>I don't have to use pills for him. He has enzymes that are powder form that you mix in to their meals. I only have to give him OTC pepcid that is a pill to help increase the digestion of the enzymes.</p>

<p>He started to change in his personality. He was sluggish and lethargic, sleeping all day and night. Never initated play like he did before or run around. He also started to have diarrhea that was soft and yellow. He used to eat but never over eat or food motivated. Then all of a sudden he was always wanting food. He also lost weight to where you can feel the rib cage and spine. No matter what medicine we tried the diarrhea never stopped. Finally the vet checked the liver but it was fine.…</p>

He also lost weight to where you can feel the rib cage and spine. No matter what medicine we tried the diarrhea never stopped. Finally the vet checked the liver but it was fine. Then she ran the test for EPI which is a blood test and the results were very low making him positive for EPI. </p>
