do not stress as I know a few people that have dealt with epi ad ple and once on the right diet and supplements they are fine so do not panic. I just want you to ask more questions and make sure all of these are ruled out and no steroids until they make sure that histoplasmosis is ruled out as that can make the dog worse if they treat with steroids which is what happened to manolosmom. They did endoscopy to determine it was fungal not lymphangiectasia so the steroids were actually making her dog worse and fungal infection got worse after steroid use. They will use steroids for ibd dogs and lymphangiectasia dogs but they need to endoscopy before any drugs are given as if it is not that then it can cause a huge problem if it is fungal and why narrowing down what is going on and when it all started is key. Sounds like when it all started was when your dog ate that compost as your dog was fine before that correct?
