My little Cricket had pancreatitis. My vet says in dogs it often turns into a chronic illness, which it did for her. She had chronic pancreatitis.
He advised, in his opinion, after they have a bout of it they should be maintained on a bland diet so not to trigger another episode. She was kept on a prescription I/D diet (canned) that I bought through the vet's office. It really was not badly priced, especially as little as these little guys eat. I was no longer to give cheese as a treat or anything high in fat. No ice cream or any high fat naughty treats. My vet was not a fan of the boiled chicken and rice for pancreatitis pts. He wanted me to stick to the canned food from him. This really did help her. |
