My EPI dog has diarrhea suddenly, even with Lypex and B12. Why?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | neutered | 4 years old

My dog had been diagnosed with EPI so he has lypex twice a day with his food. He was ok in the last couple weeks but today he had diarrhoea twice and i don't understand why? He had the same food i didn't change anything. He had vitamin b12 injection 1.5 weeks ago. I would really appreciate your advice. Thank you Eva

EPI can be a very frustrating condition to manage, weekly B12 injections, a hydrolyzed diet such as royal canin hypoallergenic and lypex supplement all help to control symptoms and maintain weight but any treats or stolen snacs can be expected to create flare ups
