So which is it? Again, I'm a firm believer in fiber, so I'm not arguing the advantages of fiber, however, I didn't see in the links you offered a time when a more normal diet could be given. I really hope people listen to their own vets on this one. If rushed, before the digestive system is ready, it seems like another attack could happen.

Yes, Nancy....... that is exactly what I said. I wish more vets in daily practice would promote a high fiber diet, as stated previously. That was my somewhat failed attempt at being satirical in consideration the average vet does less than 2 semesters in nutritional science; so obviously they are not the best choice it planning a comprehensive diet for a pancreatic challenged pup.

Most physicians in research are academically educated in facets of nutritional science than the "vet down the street". So yes..Nancy, I do wish that they would take the time to educate themselves in Nutritional science.

As for you hoping that they listen to their vets nutritional advice, you go right ahead. I hope they listen to their BCVN first!
