I am new to Yorkie Talk, not new to living with a Yorkie having pancreatitis. Our boy was diagnosed at 8 years of age with pancreatitis and lived to a wonderful age of 14. It took awhile for us to figure out what foods worked for him and what didn't. He did better eating four small meals a day spaced out - helped to keep him from getting gassy. His stomach would gurgle at times and we would give him some cheerios and that seemed to settle him down. Also when we traveled, long trips we would give him some cheerios and that kept him from getting a sick stomach on the car trips. I cooked his food twice a week - we cooked low fat boneless chicken boiled with boiled white rice (he could not tolerate beef) - some boiled carrot, some boiled potatoe, boiled egg white - once a week, we would give him cooked oatmeal for a meal. The amounts were never more than a 1/4 cup of food at any one time. We always mixed his food with warm water and never fed him anything cold. Cheerios was his treat and inbetween food - always gave him a few before he went to bed. Always watched he never ate anything off the floor or when company was around. He was happy and very active - best little buddy I ever had - this is what worked for us not sure if any of this would work for you and your pup - took alot of trial and error - and reading up on the subject - we had joined a Yahoo Group six years ago for other dog owners with the same problem Not sure if that Group is still there, but might be worth a looking into it. Wishing you good luck and many happy years with your precious buddy.
