I'm sorry I haven't responded. I appreciate all of the advice. We now have a new disease in the family. My baby, Kayte, (the one in the pic) has been losing weight rapidly, lots of pancreatitis, etc. and she has now been diagnosed with Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency. This disease is a real scary thing so I won't be real active on any groups until I learn to stabilize her, so please forgive my lateness in responding. Essentially, she cannot digest and uptake nutrients without enzyme supplementatio n and I'm quickly learning that it's a difficult disease to stabilize. Wow, I'm just poleaxed!!! I'm hangin' in there, though! Thank God for pet insurance! Thank you for your posts, support, and advice.
