I have had my dog since he was 4 mos. He is now 1 yr. We have had bouts with diarrhea and mucos. Tx. for Guardia 2 times. Changed food, would be OK for a while then return. He was last on a special diet for dogs with GI problems, canned and Tylan. He had mucus again. I called. The vet did a digestive analyis of the stool. Came back poor. Vet said he is lacking the pancreatic enzymes. Now he is getting a pancreatic enxyme in a tablet with his food. I am upset. He just started yesterday. He has not lost a lot of weight, his coat is good, he looks healthy. The vet said no guarantees. I read 1 in 5 dogs don't respond. I am heart broken.

Any help out there???
