Had a call from a person who took in a GSD several years ago and her girl has 
been diagnosed with EPI.  Her pancreas level was 0.6 with normal being 5.0 to 
35.0.  This all started very suddenly.  They did all the blood work and while 
waiting for it to come back the vet started her on forti flora, prozyme and 
B-12 injections.  Now that the tests are positive she will be on pancrezyme 
which is quite expensive.  They are ordering from Dr. Foster and Smith but we 
are wondering if anyone has any ideas on where this medicine can be ordered 
more reasonably.  The price is about $129 for a months supply plus all her 
supplements.
They will do anything to keep this dog alive; but she is literally starving 
now.  Hopefully things will turnaround once she is on her treatment.  Any help 
would be appreciated and I will forward it on to her. I know nothing about this 
problem.

Thank you.
