I was told that not all fish can be given to Pancrititis sufferes, that it has to be "cold water fish" because they have less fat
Which whitefish can food are you using? 6% sounds great! I'm using Blue Basics (Salmon) 8% protein, but not sure if it's good for my boy
My vet prescribed Famotidine (I didn't know its's pepcid ac) and also Metronidazole, but said that they most be given at least for 5 days every time I used it (I was using only when I thought Nicky was in pain) because they can develop immunity and it will stop working. How often do you use it?
Pancrititis is indeed scary and painful, I can tell on my boy
