I don't have personal experience with pancreatitis, but I do know diet can play a key role. You have to be careful with fat and protein percentages. |
Wow, I got suspicious of the Salmon oil and threw it away, but the Cocotheraphy...how sad, but yeah, that too. They love it and I had stocked up on it
No worries, I'll use it as a skin lotion
I'm looking into switching the Orijin. But do you really trust that prescription diet wet food? I'm suspicious of it. Grant it, I didn't like Evanger's much either, some do look very fatty

She gives her dog the bare minimum on stuff and anything with pork ham and all that can be deadly for them. The food they want you to have is not that good, they get a kick back from science diet, but I would not want to change a whole lot right now until your baby is better |
That's what I think about the "Prescription Diet i/d" I just don't trust Science Diet, not even prescribed
I found out about the kick backs and that's exactly why I don't buy their food at the vet's. But my HB refuses to believe that a professional would sell out and put our babies health at risk for the 'almighty dollar.' Impossible, he says
All I know for sure is that my babies are sick and that I need to fix it
Bland and low fat, I'll keep it in mind and do the switching of their diet slowly after they're feeling better. Solid Gold sounds good at low fat and holistic.
They're going to hate it, Nicky especially hates when I play with his food
(unless it's junk food of course). I'm facing a lot of whining and sad eyes for dayyyyyys
