My 8 yr old yorkie just got home after 3 days in the hospital with Pancreatitis. Her primary symptom has been horrible diarrhea, so bad her little bottom from underneath her tail all the way tu under her anus it is bright red. You can tell it is so painful. They did give me some dermalome cream which I have been using.

Unfortunately, when I picked her up there was only one vet on duty and she was busy with an emergency so she couldn't talk with me. All the tech told me was small meals several times a day . She didn't even say what type of food but I knew from reading to keep it low fat. I suggested boiled chicken and rice and she said that should be ok. She said a couple tablespoons full at a time. So I fed her 3 times yesterday between 3 pm and 1 am. She had no vomiting and was very hungry for the food. So todays a full day but I'm not sure how much total food to give her . Shes a big girl (9 lbs) which I know is part of the issue. Can someone tell me how much and how often? She is a very picky eater so even though they didn't suggest or offer a prescription low fat dog food, I know she wouldn't eat it which is why I went for the chicken.

Also imam scared to death the diarrhea will come back. She had one stool,this morning and it wasn't watery but it was loose still. Not only would continued diarrhea mean her Pancreatitis isn't better but her poor little bum can't take more. So how long till she has solid stool? Is it normall that it's still soft?

Thanks for any advice. I cannot afford to go back to the vet. This last stay cost me $800 and I don't have a cent more . In fact I'm not sure how I will make it to the next pay day so I need to do everything I can to treat her at home
