Glad to hear Iz is doing better. After reading your posts I started to suspect EPI also. Iz and Bubba both do have similar symptoms, and Bubba is a poop eater. But he never eats his own thank goodness. The only symptom he seems to have is the loose stool/diarrhea.
I didn't get the name of the broad spectrum wormer.. I should have. But I was too stunned at the price. LOL But I'm positive she (vet tech) said it also treats Giardia as well as whip/hook/round/tape. I asked about Panacur and she said they don't use that one. But no explaination as to why not.
As soon as I saw the bottle of Strongid-T my first thought was this isn't going to work worth a crap. If I had the $90 bucks I would have bought the other stuff. At least then I would have had a glimmer of hope that it would work. I tried to get them to run me a bill, but nope.. too many people have been not paying.
It has also been mentioned to me that Bubba could possibly be sensitive to meat protein. I never really thought of that possibility. Natural Balance does make a Veggie kibble. It's 18.0% protein and 8% fat. I may wait and see what both wormers do first. But it might be worth a try?
The vet has on file though that Bubba can't have corn or wheat, he gets violently itchy. I'm thinking that's why he never mentioned the Gastro.
If all else fails the blood tests should show something right? Elevated levels concerning the liver/kidney/pancreas ect?
I just re-read my post and LOL I'm skipping randomly from this to that. Sorry. Just typing whatever pops in my head.
