So does Ellie May have pancreatitis chronically? Barney had the one acute episode about 4 or 5 years ago and was fine without any dietary restrictions all this time. The vet says that now has to change so we have to figure something out.
brown rice? that is very hard to digest i would go with white over brown as brown in high in fiber too and can trigger colitis i saw it happen in dee dee and it was not pretty came out whole. Brown has to be cooked 20 minutes longer for dogs than humans so i would avoid it at all cost.

Pancreatitis is very painful as dex had it and he would toss and turn and could not get comfortable so i had to hospitalize him - this is one i would not mess with as they can die from this

If he has it no food through mouth for 48-72hrs and best if no water or meds too
