Absolutely right. I have seen no evidence to indicate that the raw diet is bad for pancreatitis. What is bad is the high fat content in most or all prepackaged raw food.

While I'm not suggesting that this is a good option, if you are set on feeding raw, prey model with extremely reduced fat may be an option (could be formulated by a veterinary nutritionist, but some of them are really against it, so it's not their favorite thing to formulate...). Even then though, with raw chunks of meat, the fat may be difficult to pick off. So it could still be risky.
