i am not a fan of hill's i/d as my dog relapsed after a week on this food after having pancreatitis. This food has pork in it - I would get ultra z/d food it has chicken in it instead of pork and is hydrolized protein. My dog is now on an 8% fat diet which is a hydrolized soy diet purina ha. He never had the diarrhea only vomitting. No blood either. The internal medicine specialist we work with that ended up saving his life does not like I/d and felt he relapsed from this food and I even called hill's about this food asking them to remove it from the recommended foods for pancreatitis.
My dog had pancreatitis, relapsed in after a week, then had a bacterial infection a week out of hospital which can happen when they get it severe enough, and it was a rough road - it is a very serious disease and it can lead to diabetes if they keep getting it so very important to get under control first time around if you can. Once they have it is really easy for them to get it again - there is chronic and acute - acute is a one time attack and chronic is they tend to get it often |
