Then, he had another acute attack of pancreatitis last march, which was also severe but we managed him at home and he recovered. He is now on a very low fat diet (3%) that is home cooked for the rest of his life.
Since she is coming from a rescue I may not have much information about her history. Based on your experience with Barney, I guess we should go ahead and put her on a low fat diet. Do you mind sharing your 'recipe' for the home cooked diet you are using?
