You do not want to chance another attack. While pancreatitis is scary enough, repeated bouts can cause the pancreas to stop producing insulin (diabetes). Lady has been a diabetic for seven years and trust me, you don't want to have to give Miss Kitty insulin shots twice a day for the rest of her life. |
I wanted to edit my last post to say Ellie's vet and internist are fine with it, not her vet and nutritionist.
Ladymom, why no fruit and veggies?
High fiber is good for dogs with pancreatitis (I'm sure it depends on the type of veggies) and veggies are in most dog foods...
