Im hoping for some input on my Rigby, 4 yo female 4.6 lbs, who has been having such a hard time over the last 6 months. She started acting depressed and not eating much. We thought it was her teeth, so we had that done and 2 courses of Clinda with improvement, then return of symptoms. I was feeding her high fat table food, (out of ignorance
) so my vet suspected chronic pancreatitis. No vomiting or diarrhea, but elevated Amylase or Lypase, cant remember which. Not very elevated, but still elevated. We started her on Chicken breast, rice (or sweet potatoe) and string beans, with some improvement, but not much. I tried her on a low fat Natures Recipe for small dogs, and she really liked that. Then she started itching and threw up a few times, so vet suspected allergies, so we switched to fish and rice or turkey and rice. Stopped throwing up and itch seemed better. Finally put her on Blue Buffalo limited formula for sensitive dogs, tried turkey then salmon and sweet potatoe. Bag says 12% fat, which is the max my vet said we could use, but after 2 weeks, she is sick again with acting depressed, pain after eating and not wanting to eat at times. She has been to the Veterinary SPecialty Hospital and was worked up for liver shunt and thyroid, and both were negative except slightly elevated T4. Can she just be that sensitive to foods that have fat? She did best on the Natures Recipe low fat chicken as far as acting like her crazy happy little self again, but started sctratching and lost a lot of hair. Any suggestions on how to manage chronic pancreatitis better than I am doing, because I feel like I am not really helping her. An suggestions about a low fat food not made with chicken or turkey? Any meds given for stomach pain after eating? I welcome all input. Thanks so much!
