I've searched online, and found diets for pancreatic dogs. I'm boiling chicken breasts and rice, but he's not eating anything at all. How can I get him to eat?

I am sorry I didn't see this until now.

Ask your vet about giving an appetite stimulant. There are two : Mirtazapine is commonly used. I cannot think of the other one offhand but your vet should know. I could look it up if you try Mirtazapine and it does not work.

Pancreatitis can be deadly. Keep a very close eye on him. While it is best to be hospitalized, you could also ask about getting subcutaneous fluids. ANY change in his condition needs immediate vet care.

Prayers for your Choco....please keep us updated.
