Poor Charlie is really out of it but at least the pain meds are giving him some much needed relief.

Another Pancreatitis question...They said it was not necessary to withhold food even until tomorrow. They said offer him a spoonful at a time of the Royal Canin Gastro Intestinal low fat. They said if he didn't want that to offer him the boiled boneless, skinless chicken breast I made him this morning with the rice. My question is has anyone else been told it was good practice to give food after a Pancreatitis diagnosis? In humans you withhold food and water for a min of 24 hours if not more. Charlie was given IV fluids so he should be ok overnight. I'm going to follow what the vet said but it seems odd to give food tonight to him. Besides the fact I have no doubt he will NOT be interested right now. He is very out of it.
