Made me laugh - but in reality he is loosing weight. A significant amount of weight.

I am sorry Gizmo is losing weight. Eat your food Gizmo.

So, I was just reading on @Tracey&Jones thread about EPI. Tracey is awaiting BW to see if that could be the issue. Weight loss and anemia. Has Gizmo been tested for this? Just a thought.

ETA: The thread:

The only thing is, I don't think Gizmo is having any diarrhea issues.

Has Gizmo been tested for this?

No. But he was on pancreas enzymes for about 18 months. Took him off when the anemia started. Our favorite vet put him on the Pancreaplus after the first hospitalization with pancreatitis. I looked into the EPI testing with current vet but they weren't familiar with the testing or it is only through IDEXX and they don't have an account (I can't remember).

@Tracey&Jones @Bobbie And Bubba

Here is where @Marje and Gracie shared info on pancreas enzymes and digestive enzymes

Tracey, the Pancreaplus is $$. About $100/bottle but lasts forever.

Here is a picture from tonights after work lovins and brushing session. He seems to be feeling pretty good. Even played a bit with the brush (that is what he is laying on).

Thanks for the link. Need to do some reading. I am still waiting and the BW was drawn over a week ago. I hope they didn't lose a sample as it needs to be a fasting one.

Gizmo looks like he has been run over by love.

Only time he has soft serve is on AB or I move to fast on a food change. He tends be constipated vs. diarrhea but has been better in that department with the novel proteins.

So, I am assuming that diarrhea is a big symptom?

I saw anemia and losing weight and thought of you and Gizmos.

losing weight and thought of you and Gizmos.

He just isn't eating well the past couple of weeks. He was down a few oz last Sunday weigh in but this week I am really scared to see how much he is down. I can tell when I pick him up.

He did get Mirtz tonight and I switched him back to duck/venison mixture with no fish at the same time. He ate well at PS (before mirtz) so am hoping that the AB shot and Mirtz will be the combo that gets him back to eating better. The venison is high(er) calorie too.
