My boy has had 2 bouts of pancreatitis with the 1st being complicated by hypoglycemia - it was just horrible. We nearly lost him because it came on SO suddenly. One day he was fine, the next he didn't have any energy at all. That night he was hit with diarrea, vomiting, and had a seizure in my arms on the way to the emergency hospital!!! The doctor thought it was parvo and he wasn't treated for the right thing until the second bout. My dad gave him the tiniest piece of pork chop at a cookout and it set him off again.

It was an expensive ordeal, but more taxing on our emotions. I can't imagine the strength it took to survive all that. So you're not alone! I've always been against giving ANY human food to dogs because I've seen so many die from obesity complications, but this is just another reason to be very careful about their nutrition & fat intake.

My dad felt guilty about it & I was just plain angry @ the emergency vet for making the wrong diagnosis. She was just horrible all around.
