 Maybe this will help
So sorry to hear about Nikki's problems. My 9 year old Yorkie, Gypsy, was hospitialized twice with pancretisis late last year. She is doing well now. Her vet put her on Royal Canin digestive low fat twice a day with Digest-Rite Pet Top Dress on one feeding. Very often for the first feeding of the day, Gypsy doesn't want to eat. When that happens, we give her some Proviable-KP paste (she licks it off my finger, really her own lips....looks like she's eating peanut butter). This seems to stimulate her appetite almost immediately. I think when dogs who tend to have this problem go too long without eating they get nauseated and don't want to eat. The vet also prescribed the Proviable. He said it's kinda lilke a doggy yogurt, replaces the good bacteria they need in their guts. I have no idea why it seems to work so quickly, but somehow it stimulates her appetite.
Hope this helps.
