My friend has a 1 yr old female German Shepherd, baby sister of my male GSD. She was diagnosed with EPI and has been getting PancreVed in her food, every meal.

Do you have any recommendations for this or advice? And is it hereditary?

Thank you,

Thank you very much for your response!
I agree with Krista. There is no sign of improvement. Talk to the vet about changing treatment or adjusting it. Ask about testing for other possible illness and more bloodwork.

She was suggested pig pancreas and goats milk??
