Jackson may or may not have had pancreatitis. Took him to an ER-type vet who treated him as such, spent a ton of money, and now I don't even think that's what it was nor does our regular vet who I trust and like very much. She thinks it was just a really bad GI upset from too much people food. He was hospitalized overnight.
With that said, I played it safe and was feeding low fat grain inclusive for a bit. He was on the Purina EN from the vet for about 3 weeks, then we did Natural Balance, and a few others. Never liked the results from those foods... he began almost 'shedding' when bathed/brushed, eye goop was starting, he was always hungry, energy began decreasing on certain foods, coat seemed to lose shine, so after I'd say 4 months, or so, we went back to the regular food in which he did best on, which was Acana grain-free. Now he's on Acana Singles line (25% protein, 15% fat) and doing fantastic. |
