There are so many different things that we assume are good for our pups; but sometimes they just are not. I don't know about coconut oil and pancreatitis, but I suspect Cathy is right. All I know is that IF I wanted to give something like that, I would ask the vet nutritionist I use. I am fortunate that, having used her for diets for a few of my pups now, I can write and ask her basic questions about treats and other things.
For example: I was giving my foster Gizmo bits of sweet potatoes...and Cathy mentioned to me that they are high in oxylates. OMG...that is the type of stones he had years ago...I would have had a fit if he got stones because of that!! I wrote to the nutritionist and she is going to go over his records since he was recently ill with pancreatitis and she will advise me on food and treats.
Everyone seems to assume that what looks good and is so called natural is good and is ok for any pup and that just is not the case. Each one is so different. |
