In 2007 I watched my Alaskan Malamute go from 120# of energy to a 64# depressed dog. Turns out he has EPI, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. Even with the proper enzyme medication there are still bouts of very bad diarrhea. This caused bleeding in the intestines from the bad bacteria. Our vet suggested Organic, Unpasturized yogurt (try to find that.) Since starting Probiotic Pearls we have not had another incidence of bloody stool.
Dante, my Malamute/Husky was diagnosed with EPI in January. Basically his pancreas no longer works. He is on enzyme therapy to treat this condition. But, a side effect is the overgrowth of BAD intestinal bacteria. After antibiotics did not work the Vet suggested natural, organic yogurt. This was okay but did not produce the results I was looking for. So far the Probiotic Pearls are doing the trick.
