Rain
“My old girl Rain started having diarrhea at the end on Nov… Normally when that happens we withhold food for 24 hours and then go to a bland diet with FortiFlora and it is no big deal… this time it didn’t work, so off to the vet with a stool sample, that was clear so we went on 2 weeks of Metro… after that was through we started slowly adding her grain free food back into her diet ¼ c added every few days… we got up to 3/4 c added in to the rice and chicken and diarrhea came back…. We were heading to Oregon for Christmas so we took her to the vet again, We did bloodwork and all her kidney and liver functions were fine, great levels is what we were told. She was getting so skinny we could see all her ribs and she acted like she was starving, now we know she was….We we’re given more Metro and Prednisone to get us through Christmas, we also put her on the I/D sensitive stomach (just to try something new because bland diet wasn’t working and it would be easier on our amazing pet sitter) at that point we were also adding “Firm it up” pumpkin supplement, and still giving her FortiFlora. After we got back for Oregon I noticed some of the rice was whole in her stool so I started doing some research. I discovered a plant based enzymes “Enzyme Miracle” and a new probiotic that was rated highly “Probiotic Miracle”… Thinking it might help I started her on it…It seemed to help a bit but not completely so time to call the vet to see what the next step was. I told him what we had done and he said if it was Pancreas issues that they usually use a pork based enzyme…He told me it would be a prescription and to order and he will do the ok.. I started doing more research trying to find a cheaper option, $200 a bottle was a little too much. During that research I found Pan-tenex, I decided to give it a try because I could get it quick and I didn’t have to wait on a script for it…. It came and we started her on it right away. We saw a still soft but firmer stool within a couple days. After reading the information about enzymes I came across information about EPI, and I am so glad I did. I realized I was not putting in enough enzymes with her food. I was using 1 tsp in 3+ cups of rice and chicken… So I upped the enzymes to 3 tsp and 2 days later her stool was totally normal!! After a couple weeks of her being stable I started slowly decreasing the enzymes and she is still doing great. We are down to 1.5 tsp per 2.5 cups of food. I am so happy to have found Pan-tenex it has made my girl healthy again!”
