When Presley has a serious pancreatic attack, he will go a few days not wanting any food. My vet says not feeding him gives him time for his pancreas to heal. As long as your baby is getting fluids, he should be ok with not eating for a couple of days. We stress out more than the dogs do when they don't eat. He is very uncomfortable and eating can irritate him further. My Pres will even not be interested in what WE are eating when he has a bad flare up. We try to keep him comfortable while taking meds as much as possible. My vet, says to keep him as still as possible (they don't really feel like playing anyway). Usually when he is feeling better he is more interested in his food. We keep him on a prescription diet. He's been on it for 8 years now. We've had to change brands a few times because he becomes bored with it. After all, it is very bland and easily digestible, which is better for the pancreas. |
