At the very first sign of a pancreatis attack I react! 1, start trying to force fluids. PLAIN canned chicken stock is a great way to get them in him. 2 have Famotidine on hand at all times. Vet has to prescribe this but its a life saver! Ask the vet about it if he/she has not already mentioned it. I also have Cerenia If mine are to the point of already vomiting I use Cerenia. IF belly is upset and refusing food, Famotidine. NO MORE TABLE FOOD! none. Its so hard but a must. Mine are on a strict prescribed diet and the only treats they get are canned no salt added green beans, and baby carrots. That's it. for a really special treat they get apple or raw potato. Tons of info on the internet but the main thing you have to think about is helping the pancreas not have to work hard. So that means he needs foods that are VERY easily digested. Hope that helps! |
Thank you for the input! What food do you have your babies on? I will talk to him about the Cerenia and Famotidine-
