Default pancreatitis

Taking Kona to the vet again tomorrow. Blood in stool and eating grass like crazy! He also had 1 bout of just total blood! He is on flagyl but not sure things are getting better. 2 bouts of vomiting but he doesn't seem to be in pain? Vet is thinking possible pancreatitis. I keep reading about the cPLI test as being the sure diagnostic blood test....but I also read that it is only done in Texas? Is this true? $$$$$$

Also as far as the low fat diet, what is the % of fat that I should be looking for in the food if he indeed does have pancreatitis? His current food says 16% fat (minimum). WTH does that mean....."minimum"?
