Hi Jimmy - when you say blood tests were done - was there specifically something done called a "GI Panel" - bc that would be essential here.

I would absolutely have this kiddo on a prescription diet for life - either Royal Canin GI Low Fat, or perhaps Royal Canin HP down the road...or similar in Science Diet.

Many people, understandably, don't realize just how serious and life threatening Pancreatitis really is; and it can be extremely painful in some cases (which may be masked by dogs). It can take dogs and humans MONTHS to heal from it. It is not uncommon at all for humans to end up in the ICU due to it. One of our own members here at YT (only in her 30's), ended up in the ICU for I think about 17 days, and nearly lost her life. It was very scary.

So, don't be surprised if it takes a very long time to see her back to her normal self.

How are her kidney levels?
