It can lead to diabetes or epi if they get it over and over again so not good if they keep getting it at all. Alot of times it can be tied to ibd in small intestines. Next blood panel when they do it make sure to do a 12 hr fast one and see if triglycerides are high as dogs with high triglycerides are more prone to pancreatitis as they have a high amount of fat in blood already
Is that purina food dry? and where do you get it? The royal canin is not that great a food so I was looking for something a little more nutricious
