Hi Everyone
 
I was contacted by someone who owns a puppy sired by my male, the dam belonged 
to a friend of mine who this person purchased the puppy from.  
 
Her 9 year old bitch tested positive for EPI.  The dog had quit eating and 
after an emergency trip and three days of vet care they got her eating again, 
tests were run and she tested low in albumin.  Then, she stopped eating again, 
and this time, she was taken to the University of Illinois vet school and they 
ran all sorts of tests, finally did the EPI test and she tested positive.   
 
I have NO experience with EPI (thankfully) but would like to give this owner 
some information that some of you might have.  She is now on a Grain Free 
Kibble along with Viokase.  The University did say this was rare to be 
diagnosed this late, at 9 years of age.
 
I appreciate any advice, private is fine, I will be forwarding this information 
to her.
 
Thanking you guys in advance
 
Chris
