Hi all!
Does anyone know the suggested dosage for bromelain?
Our vet has ok'd adding a bit of bromelain to Pitter's diet, but isn't familiar enough with it to suggest a dose.
It's mostly for Pitter, but want to add it to Patter's diet as well.
As a digestive aid for both of them and in Pitter's case, as an anti-inflammatory.
TIA

Background on Pitter (just in case it's helpful)
He's 7.5 years old. He has mild kidney disease.
He was diagnosed with pancreatitis and ibd 2 years ago by an Internal Medicine vet with ultrasounds. It had taken over 2 years to get, he was in rough shape for a while ...
He's been doing really good this past year, until 2 months ago when he got into food that he shouldn't have.
He seemed ok at first, but then got sicker + sicker. On the 3rd day we took him to the Animal ER. He was in kidney failure with only 30% kidney function and less than 50% chance of pulling through . . . He was admitted to the hospital for 3.5 days. On fluids, pain meds, etc.
He's doing good - with the exception of him still having issues with being constipated. But that's been an issue since he was a tiny kitten.
(He's always had wet food. He actually likes pureed pumpkin so I mix it in his food and give him a bit on the side. Daily miralax.)

. I love them and tend to over do it when there are in season. Boy, do I get a raw mouth and sometimes an upset stomach.
