Abigale my elderly rescue has bouts of pancreatitis and I had her on low fat canned food but she didn't like it so I tried the natural balance duck and sweet potato and she hasn't had a problem at all with it and she loves it. I think I'm going to put all of mine on royal canin gastrointestinal low fat diet so maybe it will help, but if Elsy's problem is due to stress I don't know what I'll do because she is so attached to me. She is rarely left alone (except when I was in the hospital and my husband was either at the hospital or at work during the day) Most of the time if I'm not at home he is at home with her but he says she just sits and watches for me. She just like a baby that wants her mama all the time. |
The RC gastrointestinal low fat kibble is the lowest % fat on the market. I feed Barney 1/2 cup twice a day (1 cup per day total) and he is 10 lbs. So you might want to take into account that you might have to feed a little more of this food. Maybe you can help Elsy to cope w/ stress by keeping her apart from you for increasing amounts of time each day. I would obviously wait until she feels a lot better before doing that.
Hope she had a good day today.
