Update on Kody Grace and Frisbee Fun!




Kody Grace has been on enzyme replacements for a month now and she has a healthy looking glow about her. We are so happy that her poos are firm, brown and wrinkled - the goal of an EPI-er. Yes, we did the poo dance :-)~ and, she has gained 6 pounds since diagnosis- yay!
We have switched her kibble to Dick Van Patten's Natural Balance Sweet Potato & Fish, a grain-free allergy formula and Kody loves it. I love it because it is grain free and low in fiber and fats, a requirement necessary for the health of an EPI dog.
Kody's favorite toys: Kong Wubba's and Frisbees. Frisbee tosses are tops with Ko and the
most important part -exercise. This fun brings such contentment for her and a much needed
release of energy. Kody likes to catch the Frisbee in mid-air, hence her nickname "Air-Ko"...
and no matter how far you toss it, she is always there to catch it!
We are careful in timing her meals of at least 2 hours before or after exercise to avoid
dangerous bloat or torsion. More Later.
