 Pancreatitis
My 15 year old Yorkie had routine labs done 6 months ago that showed he had pancreatitis (normal 400, his 1200). He had a little vomiting, no diarrhea or weight loss. He was active, walking a half mile a day and playful. Started making him meals of chicken, brown rice and veggies with a 2 tablespoons of Royal Canine Gastrointestinal Low Fat canned food as the vet recommended. A month a ago his level was down to 800. No more vomiting. Still active, so he's better. He will be rechecked in 3 months. In 6 weeks we will be gone for 2 weeks and the house sitter will stay with him. I am worried about her feeding him the home made food even if I freeze it. I am thinking he would do best with just the canned food which he loves just to be on the safe side. That way I won't worry about if the chicken is out too long or the veggies aren't cleaned enough. What do you think? We also have a 12 year old overweight (7 pound) female who eats what he does. Neither of them like the kibble food same brand. Suggestions? |
