Milkyway, my first Yorkie had acute pancreatitis.
The most important thing I can tell you is keep him on a low fat, high fiber diet. High Fiber is the key; both soluble and insoluble.


~ Soluble fiber helps fats and sugars enter the bloodstream at a slower rate, providing a steady supply. Reducing the risk of a "fat-overload" which could trigger an attack.
~Insoluble fiber helps move fat through the GI tract faster so that less of it is absorbed into the body, reducing the risk of an attack.

Also, be aware that the pancreas contains specialized cells, the Isle of Langerhorn, which is responsible for the production of insulin. Although rare, Diabetes Mellitus is a possibility when the pancreas is damaged. Asking your vet about this possibility would be advisable.

Best wishes....
