The vet said this is a condition that is found most commonly in German Shepherds. Has anyone else dealt with this? If so, how fast did your dog's condition start to improve after the enzymes were added to their diet. I'm embarrassed to be see with her right now because she looks so bad. Lastly have you found an economical source for the enzyme powder? $85 per month is seeming like alot, though of course it's worth it if she starts to gain weight.

He started gaining weight immediately but was always on the skinny side afterwards . Good thing was it never effected his energy level or performance. He just ate awhole lot afterwards to keep the weight on . I can't give you any help on the $$ side . It's a little expensive but it sure helps them return close to having a normal life . Good luck. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v644/K9Mic/Card-2-1.jpg

I think the powder form may be more effective, but the tablets are more conveinient. Good Luck. John Haudenshield The School for Dogs

Try them, they are also very nice and easy to deal with: http://www.americanlaboratories.com/Product_Information/Enzymes/aliEnzymes.htm The powder works better - you can have Rod or one of the reps send you the spec for the products and take to your vet to make sure of the strength.
