Good News she used the EN on Izzy I just read her posts so click on her statistics and read her posts:) She also feeds fish with it. Please pm her as her case was almost identical to yours except yours never had the pancreatitis just ibd i believe but both vomitted blood. BTW i agree with the no treat policy for dogs with ibd they only get their food that is it as a treat |
Just wanted to add that TJ has IBD too, and we have been battling the past year with it. He gets homecooked meals, but we think that he was getting too much of the wrong kind of fiber. After researching about soluble and insoluble, and fermentation rates, and about each different types of fiber and what they do in the GI track, I finally understand what my Vet and Nutritionist were thinking was the problem. I had to start all over again slowly adding his stuff back in, but also adding the right kind of fiber for his needs. I also had to put him back on Tylan Powder, but I am hoping after 6 weeks of him not having episodes, then I can wean him off. ...I think the sweet potatoes did him in too :( ...but that's just TJ ~ IBD is really tricky, bc it is so general, just an umbrella for all the different things underneath it :( |

But i do know izzy is really picky too and would not eat the purina ha as i sent it to her to try it out steroids can trigger pancreatitis and since her dog had pancreatitis as well like dex they usually will not do steroids with these dogs unless all options are exhausted for fear of setting off the pancreas |

Tylan capsules shouldn't be big. A compounding pharmacy can make them for you, but they are very expensive (at least they were when we tried it). Some owners also just get the powder and sprinkle some on food (which is way less accurate, but some vets don't mind). And as always, this doesn't work for every dog. Didn't work for us at all. |

You can make a meat ball with the EN to pill her as the capsules are really tiny - cindy can tell you how to do it - I will find the website she sent me but you need to talk to vet about it and get his take on it |

TJ gets a 'drop' of Tylan Powder in his AM meal. I mix it in a pea-size amount of natural organic apple sauce, and careful place it in 3 spots in his food. He def. smells it and "tries" to avoid it, but he winds up eating all his food, so i guess I am disguising it well enough ;) |

Metro actually worked better for her, but only for about 10 days. The only thing that actually worked was diet change along with a very patient vet who left full thickness biopsy open as an option, but never rushed into it (thankfully). But at least you have prednisone if you can't find an okay diet. |
