| Does this person have specific questions? There are lots of articles with overviews on the internet. I don't have experience with it but Ellie is about to be tested. Marci, it isn't but I think a dog who has had pancreatitis is more likely to get it. It isn't a really common disease.

| We have a pet at my clinic who has this--he takes a powdered supplement, that gets sprinkled on his food everyday. Poor baby is also diabetic, but he is doing very well(BTW, he's a schnauzer). |

| thanks as i thought it could lead to diabetes as i know getting pancreatitis can lead to this as well as the pancreas controls the insulin in the body - so sad |
