A vet on our maltese group her dog got pancreatitis from a grub he ate outside so once they have it anything can set them off and this breed is really prone to pancreatitis naturally as i believe they have a high amount of fat in their blood already and why my boy has high triglycerides which leads them very susceptible so diet is real important in this breed. |
Okay, that makes sense. The cheerios didn't cause pancreatitis but could set it off..
