also i disagree with white potato in diets for dogs with pancreatitis as many dogs have ibd in small intestines as well which tends to trigger the pancreas as does my dog so i would NEVER knowing what i know give a dog with these issues white potato as white potato if you google it is an inflammatory food which inflames the intestines as it is digested backs up the small intestines then sets off the pancreas and the pancreas controls the insulin in the body and why diabetes is a concern in them getting it over and over and diabetics can eat sweet potato but they are told not to eat white potato as they are from different nightshade families in how the body processes them. I saw in three dogs i have when i gave them steamed potato and dexter and demi who is completely healthy both vomitted white potato. DD who has been pilled with white potato for a year no issues after having a reaction to metacam which messed up her intestinal tract thus causing inflammation and colitis now vomits white potato whereas she never did so i have seen it first hand in 3 dogs how white potato gets vomitted right back up when they have any inflammation in that intestinal tract. My dexter was on ivd white fish and white potato diet when he came down with pancreatitis and after a year of analyzing to death with specialists and vet it came down to the white potato diets as he was on ultra zd did great no issues switched him back to a potato diet dd salmon and white potato he was back in the hospital with vomitting attack so he was then diagnosed with ibd in small intestines triggered from white potato in diets thus sending him into pancreatic attacks so for pancreatic dogs i would stick to a protein and grain and steer clear of potato for these dogs. The ultra zd was a chicken and rice diet but he itched like crazy on that diet so why switched to salmon and potato and caused the relapse again |
