Alpteses For Indy

I was at the vet’s with Heidi today and the vet said to try Alpteses for Indy.

Alpteses is a pancreatic digestive enzyme, from Petdiatrics. It’s a powder to be mixed with food or I could also put it into capsules as an alternative method of feeding it.

So I tried it during lunch just now and mixed it with some Cubgrub. Initially, Indy wasn’t willing to eat it due to the new smell. It took some coaxing, but he finally did. What a good boy he is.

Because I was so worried about Heidi’s wound, I forgot to defrost enough chicken fillet for Indy, so I was running short at lunch time. I had to give him some Cubgrub, which he also ate. Let’s hope he can retain it, so we could go back to 50-50 again.

Throughout these weeks of trying to find a solution to Indy’s loose stool problem, I had been over-compensating by feeding him more than his 2% ideal weight (a total of 110g of food daily).

Sometimes, he had loose stools and I was worried that his absorption isn’t good, he might be losing protein, so I compensated by giving him in between small meals, or just feeding him more. That’s how his weight went up to 5.8kg.

Now, I think it’s time to stop this. Maybe I should just go back to the daily intake of 110g of food. No more extras and see if this helps. Maybe he’s eating too much and that’s causing the soft stools? I don’t know…

Today, Indy asked for food in between meals and I said no. Just eat your three square meals, Indy, and let’s try if this helps, along with the Alpsteses pancreatic digestive enzymes.
