Anyway the food didn't work for him (he was always starving on it, and then clearly not absorbing it since he had non stop diarrhea for 2 months). With that said, it works GREAT for many pancreatitis pups and I whole heartedly trust RC. We use a different RX kibble of theirs now (Selected Protein PW Moderate Calorie) it's a fish and potato based food and we use Weruva canned food (Cirque de le Mer is very low fat -- under 10% on a dry matter basis). Dry matter basis is something to keep in mind with pancreatitis pups too I have learned. Even if the back of a can says "3% fat", once you account for the moisture, you may have a food that is 20% fat and way too high. Here is the calculator I like to use: https://www.pawdiet.com/articles/dry...-for-pet-food/
Thank you for the info. Maggie is improving and is doing well on the RC. If you don’t mind, what symptoms did Britster present with when he was diagnosed and what meds did they put him on? Thank you in advance. Joyce
