Default Gizmo has pancreatitis!!

So, last month Gizmo had bloody stool and we took him to the vet and he thought it was hemorrhagic gastroenteritis... He got better with the antibiotics and was well for a good 2-3 weeks. This morning he started throwing up bile with blood. So we took him into the vet and he did blood work and his amylase and lipase (enzymes of the pancreas) were EXTREMELY elevated. So he did another blood test to confirm it was pancreatitis and not just gastroenteritis... So questions for you guys! Has anyone else’s yorkie been diagnosed? if so what do you feed him or her? Vet suggested a food low in fat, high fiber... I guess Iams and Eukanuba make a good hypoallergenic food but i am not a fan of those companies. Gizmo eats Fromm and Stella and Chewys ( freeze dried patties, but i found out that it has EXTREMELY high fat content so no more) and loves it! Did you have to continue your yorkie on this low fat diet the rest of his/her life?
