? Enzyplex Side Effects

[Kynan]

Kynan is a 5 year old German Shepherd and has been back on enzyplex for about a month due to pancreatic issues that cause him to vomit and have diarrhoea. Lately he has been drinking a lot of water and three times during the last week and a half has wet his bed during his sleep despite going to the toilet regularly. Took him to the vet the other day with a urine sample and it was clear of infection but again showed low specific gravity. Earlier in the year during a routune urine check he also had low specific gravity and the test was repeated a week later with same result and then repeated a third time another week later and was normal. Vet wasnt too concerned and put it down to his system being out of wack as he was recovering from pancreatitis. Once again vet (different one as regular vet on holidays) wasnt concerned this time and said we will retest in two weeks.

Looking back now the timing of the abnormal urinary tests earlier in the year and again now seems to coincide with when he was on Enzyplex. So I am wondering if the enzymes are making him thirsty which is why he is drinking more and hence the incontinence and low specific gravity of urine. Our regular vet will be back next week so I will be checking with him.

My little Cavalier girl has been taking Enzyplex for the last 3 years with no obvious side effects. She tolerates it very well.
