You're doing a good job Brit. I know this is all pretty new to you and Jackson.
Exercise - the vet is saying very little. The average dog in the US gets what, less than an hour a day for the most part? So I'm thinking a little bit means 10-15 minutes max... Walking around quietly doesn't count, but even playing in the house where he is running and jumping does.
I know a little bit to Jackson is probably like 30-60 minutes a day, but I think the vet meant much less than that.
His pancreas doesn't want to process anything right now. What it is processing needs to go into healing his body. The calories are needed for recovery as is the rest. In other words, because he isn't able to have full meals right now, he is short on calories. So the calories that he does get need to go into helping him recovery instead of be burnt off with exercise.
