she been getting antibiotic shots
Then she should be getting a good probiotic 2-3 hours before or after her antibiotics. Antibiotics can mess up the digestion by killing "the good guys" along with "the bad guys". The need for probiotics when you take antibiotics is true in people, too.

The vet got on to me bad for giving her people food
Most vets have very little nutrition training and most of what they do get comes from dog food reps. There are LOTS of people who feed their dogs raw or homecooked diets and who have very healthy dogs - despite the dire warnings that come from a lot of vets.
Keep in mind that dogs evolved on raw meat and that the introduction of commercial dog foods is a fairly new development. What you are going to have to find out is the type and the amount of fat that your particular dog can handle. People who have dogs with EPI are the best people to advise you.
What are you feeding right now?

How do I find a vet school. I live in vidalia georgia.
There is a good vet school in Athens, Georgia, but that is a 3-hr drive for you. http://www.vet.uga.edu/
There are several that are closer to you, but you would need to find out if they have a small animal section. I have no idea how good all the other schools are. The 3 closest to you don't show a ranking on the site below.
