It is indeed difficult to manage pups with pancreatitis and renal disease. I have a foster now who has the same issues, plus a heart murmur.
When she was in ICU some time back they put her on RC Vegetarian canned and RC PW moderate calorie. She really likes both of those foods but does switch from day to day. I offer both at each feeding.
She also has a phosphorus binder added to her food daily.

Two of my personal pups have been in stage 3 renal failure for a year now. They are also on the phosphorus binder. They are on RC Renal Support T and love it! Neither of them have a history of pancreatitis. I do give them Entyce daily which has helped immensely with their appetite. I tried mirtazapine but that didn't seem to help ... I have had success in the past with it with others.

So, probably the only thing I can suggest is an appetite stimulant if you have not yet tried it.
