Canine Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI) is a disorder of the pancreas which prevents the pancreas from producing enzymes essential for the digestion of food. EPI is also known as pancreatitis.

Since a dog with EPI is unable to produce sufficient digestive enzymes by itself it is necessary to introduce additional digestive enzymes into its food. Yes, there are veterinary products on the market like Viokase and Pancrease which contain enzyme replacements in tablet or powder form and which can be obtained from your vet.

We don't know. We understand there is some anecdotal evidence to this effect and some clinicians believe that introducing replacement enzymes into a dog's diet can in rare and presumably less severe, cases 'remind' the dog's pancreas to start producing enzymes again but the evidence for this seems to be sketchy.

Yes. It completely controls Cheetah's EPI and we have received many emails from dog owners saying that they have also found it to be an effective solution for their dog's EPI.

We don't know but we're sceptical. We would like to hear the experiences, whether positive or negative, of dog owners who have treated, or tried to treat, their dog's EPI, herbally. If herbal treatment can be effective then it should be publicised but if not then this too should be publicised.

Yes. Several people have written to us saying that they are using human pancreatic enzyme replacements such as Lipram and Panzytrat on their dogs and that this treatment is effective and about half the price of the veterinary brands. We understand that human pancreatic enzyme replacements may also be tax deductible in the US.

When real or personal property is mortgaged, the lender may require an evidence of property insurance (EPI) form as proof of coverage on its collateral. This form provides an abstract or summary description of the insurance coverage in effect on real or personal property as of the date and time of the EPI's issuance.

EPI reporting allows you to uniquely identify a specific TradeDoubler tracking link, and view performance data on how well each unique EPI encoded link has performed. EPI is extremely easy to use and requires one parameter, which you decide and append to the TradeDoubler tracking URL. When used in conjunction with your Keyword Report you will be able to quickly identify which search engines and which products are profitable on the Keywords you are buying.

Canine Parvo virus is a very contagious virus that generally infects young puppies but can occur in dogs of any age. It has no known origin. The virus is very stable in the environment and can withstand high temperatures and a wide pH range. It is resistant to many disinfectants. The viral infection can cause vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, lack of interest in food and high fever.

EPI is potentially life-threatening, without treatment your dog may die. Since dogs with EPI are unable to digest their food without treatment they will starve to death but don't worry it is treatable providing you act quickly.

Chronic yellowish diarrhoea and vomiting. Flatulence. Rapid weight loss. Dog eating large amounts of food yet remaining ravenously hungry. Dog quiet and depressed due to being in pain. Coat loses its lustre.

Canine osteoarthritis is a common cause of joint failure with stiffness, loss of mobility and varying degrees of inflammation and pain. It is commonly caused by joint instability due to slack/lax ligaments; it can also result from strains, direct or indirect injury and from faulty bone and cartilage development. Less efficient repair process in the older animal makes age a contributing factor, and the condition may be exacerbated by obesity and/or overexertion.

Epi-polarization is a technique used for the very sensitive light microscopical observation of metal particles. Where bright field microscopy depends on contrast levels in discriminating signals, epi-polarization works differently: provided particles are large enough individual particles will be observed. So in fact you are evaluating your labeling results on the same basis as with an electron microscope by looking at individual particles.
