EPI Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency

My dog has EPI. Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency...which is a big way of saying his pancreas doesn't work. Pharaoh needs digestive enzymes with every meal. EPI is a common problem in Shepherds.

Does your dog have any health issues? Want to talk about them? Sometimes I have gotten information from someone else's problems that has given me a solution to a problem of my own. Perhaps we can help each other out, or I'd also be willing to lend an ear if you need one. Talking...or in this case, corresponding with each other sometimes helps. My daughter is a vet, so I could always ask if she has heard of a solution to your problem.

I had to find answers for my self. Pharaoh was diagnosed in 2002. Dr. Kristen graduated in 2008. She was too late too help me out with that problem, but it's been great having her around to advise me with other things!
