I agree! I lost Wolf at 2 with EPI, His TLI was 0.7
we tried everything on him as well,with no luck...
Texas A and M have raised the numbers. Bull is 4.0 I do have him on Prozyme
and his stools are good now, but Bull is allergic to chicken that took a while
to figure out! I feed him California Natural and Natures Varity's Raw beef and
venison
Your baby may have a food allergy too his numbers to not seem bad to me at all,
Bull was never a ravious eater either still is not
Good luck and please feel free to write me if I can give you anymore info I
have on EPI
Take care

My second GSD had EPI and no matter what supplement I used, her condition
continued to worsen to the point her body started shutting down. The vet
tried increasing the Viokase and it didn't seem to work. She had all the
classic signs. Mushy, grey stool with a very distinctive smell, body weight
would fluctuate, but she continued to loose. I went as far as to supplement
her with pig pancreas to get the natural enzymes. Unfortunately, she only
lived until she was 4yrs. old.
I would not consider putting their dog on Viokase if his levels are within the
normal range, but using the prozyme to supplement his nutrition and use a high
quality, natural, even holistic food such as Eagle Pack or Wellness. Kathy
