| Oh poor Truffles...well I must say you have gotten amazing advice and I concur with everyone. Izzy has pancreatitis and was just in again two weeks ago. She had her first attack in November which was almost life threatening and she was in for 3 days with all the blood work, IVs, pain meds, etc. cost us $1,000 and that was not the food, consults with Dr. Gordan and Susan Davis, etc., etc. This last bout she was in only 2 days and was $550. We didn't have all the tests done since we knew what it was. She is now (per Dr. Gordan and Susan Davis) on the W/D Science Diet (yes not the best but we need to calm Izzy's tummy down). The W/D has a fat content of 8.7%. We had her on that first for about 3.5 months and then told to switch her to the I/D which we found out has 14.9% fat and pork. So wham..we think that's the issue. So she is now on the W/D again and doing fine these past two weeks. It's scary and nothing to mess with...Izzy gets nothing from anyone unless I know what it is. I have cats so if she even tries to get their food she could die on us. So she eats in her crate all the time now while the cats eat their food. It was hard in the beginning but now she runs to her crate to eat. Keep us posted on Truffles.
