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.
Thanks! For all your help throughout this. I wouldn't know what's "normal" or what's not as I've never been through anything like this before. But the vet basically told me he was doing this as a preventative measure so that he didn't end up back in the hospital later.

I will research everything thoroughly before making a decision for sure. Alot of senior and weight management foods seem good. Even though Natura Pets was bought out by P&G, California Natural and Innova have a few good formulas.
