How freakin' WIERD is it that she may have one of two issues that are most common in German Shephards!!! Are you sure there isn't any GSD in there BTW- how old is she exactly?
Nope, not a bit of shephard in her.
She is seven.
I know her symptoms don't sound like EPI but she had acute pancreatitis last year and now this, so it seems like something is thrown off although her Spec cPL is normal. Something on her blood work was one point high. Hmm, I think it was hemoglobin. The vet said no worries. Her platelets were very low (out of reference range) but we redid it and they were right back up (clotting in the tube suspected). The hemo was normal then too I believe. Her lipase was about 200 points too high. This was in Oct. Then the cPL came back normal. Nutramax is sending an 80 day sample to the vet and she says they are all mine if I want them.

Lol, I agree. Her system is quite batty.
Please tell your husband thanks.
