Wellllllll, I have to say no because you (owner) would be diagnosing and treating without direct veterinary oversight. Sometimes things can present like pancreatitis that actually aren't, and sometimes (actually a lot of times) with pancreatitis, subq isn't enough. That said, this is what I do, but my situation is different. PM if you want.
