Is pancreatitis going to be a lifelong problem now? I feel very overwhelmed on managing this disease with his liver. His last BAT was normal, but do I have to worry about him throwing another shunt also. His liver condition was congenital.
no right now treat the pancreas as that is your biggest issue now - they do go hand in hand as all organs can affect each other and why if he has a liver issue why it is more important to get him in NOW to your internal medicine specialist and if anything like this ever comes up again i recommend just going to your ims instead of your regular vet as they are much more equipped and educated to handle internal organs than a normal vet so please go to your internal medicine specialist NOW as i did not know about liver issue so this is more severe than i even thought does your ims have a 24 hr facility? you can manage the pancreas my dog has been fine for 3 years and you can feed the same food i am feeding for both pancreas and liver purina ha hydrolized soy as my mvd dog and my pancreas dog is on it but right now you need to get him in NOW please
