I hope the regular food you will wean him onto is relatively low fat. If you feed him regular food and not the prescription I would keep a close eye on your baby should he have any GI upset or change in bowel habits, and get hm tested at the vet in case the P returns. My vet scared me into the prescription food for ever as he felt that if a dog is prone to P, it can happen again. As he loves the food and is 9 yrs old now, I will keep him on the prescription and P diet.
Wishing your baby well soon and may he stay well.
I have no idea why my dog got his mild bout of P as he didn't knowingly get into anything bad, but I was feeding Wellness at that time. Most regulat foods have pretty high fat content. |
The truth is that they really don't know what causes pancreatitis. That said, yes there are some absolute no no's in terms of food such as extremely fatty foods which are known to trigger it.
