I had pancreatitis at the end of last year. It is a VERY painful condition and very serious. I was in ICU for over three weeks. Even when I was still very sick I was complaining I was hungry. They would not give me food. I was on IVs. I was not even allowed water. My pancreas had to rest. If that is what the vet says, then follow what they say. I am surprised now after my ordeal that dogs are allowed home with pancreatitis. It is serious and can cause death. Even if she is hungry, it's not always the best to feed. I know it makes sense to think if she's hungry that she is feeling better, but I think the vets know best.
