I will be searching for some kind of chew that is safe for him in the future. I will consult with this vet as well as his original vet and if I can find a certified nutritionist, I will be doing this as well.
Just to be clear, he was on IV fluids from Sunday afternoon-Monday evening. He was not on fluids Tuesday-Thursday. Was given sub-q fluids Thursday, Friday and yesterday (Sunday). |
Great on finding a food above. Be careful though, it is not known all ingredients that can trigger pancreatitis.
I did understand your posts about fluids, but whether they are on IV or subc, I have never seen this long of a timeline for pancreatitis fluids based on my very limited experience. First time with my dog was a 4 day hospitalization with 48 hours NPO on IV and the rest was small meals. Second issue, only subc fluids given for management at home. That's what I meant - he is still getting fluids over the course of a week or so, and I've never heard of that.
