Pancreatitis is a bit of a mystery. It's not always related to food. Sometimes it can be stress, and sometimes nothing that can be pinpointed. As Jay indicated above, genetics can play a role.
That said, any chance that someone else may have slipped Ruger an unapproved treat, or may have dropped something on the floor?
What brand kibble does he eat and how long has he been on it? Pancreatitis can sometimes take a long time to build. |
He did get a dog biscuit Monday @ Petsmart, has had one before when we've been there. He's been eating Nutri Source all his life (16 months). My husband & I have racked our brain on how this has happened. I'm a nervous wreck. The Doctor called about 5:30 our time and said he was taking his iv's no problem. She won't offer any food till tomorrow morning. A sleepless night for me.
Thank you for your concern
