My Layla has pancreatitis. She was diagnosed in October and I was really scared... however Layla has what we are calling, chronic a-symptomatic pancreatitis as she has had no signs and I only knew about it because we get her blood tested twice a year.

Layla is now on a nutrition formulated diet and it is very low in fat. She has been doing very very well. If you can't home cook- there are many great low fat diets that are kibble- it is ESSENTIAL that she eat only her food and that her treats are low fat as well.

Jodie is right- there are too many of us on here that have expereince with this.

Pancreaitis is not curable- it is something she will always have even when her Spec levels are "normal". It will only take one bite of fatty food to set her off again and put her back in the hospital. As long as you are diligent with what she eats, she should be fine.
