Colitis and Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency

[Hunter and Daisy's Doodle Mom]

So, I'm wondering if anybody else has been told similar bad news by their vet.  Hunter was diagnosed with Colitis back in February and now both Daisy and Hunter (litermates) have exocrine pancreatic insufficiency.  We've had problems with their digestive systems since the day we got them home, and no, we didn't get them from a breeder.  First, it was worms...normal; then they had coccidia...common; then giardia...still common.  Once all normal medication has been taken, food changes, fecal testing, blood tests, and becoming a self-proclaimed master poop inspector, the end result is them both having a pancreas that just doesn't produce enough enzymes to break down their food normally.  This is new to me and I'd like to hear from others that have doodles with the same diseases.

Sometimes it helps to vent. We all understand. I wish there was something I could do or say besides, I'm so sorry, and hang in there. Big huge hugs to you & the doods.
