Is the sickness something that will happen or is it caused? How old are they when they usually get sick? I am very worried now. Any info would help!
Also, I have a new litte girl puppy named Lucy that is 8 weeks old, I dont want her on the same habits as Puppers...
Again, any advice would be appreciated! |
It happens when they get too much fat in their diet. Bacon probably isn't a good idea. Zeus had never had anything but his dog food and we had recently gotten him some peanut butter treats for dogs and that is what caused the pancreatits. Peanut butter has a lot of fat and his little digestive system just couldn't handle it. So, no more peanut butter for him. I would just try and keep a close eye on what others might be feeding Puppers, since they aren't aware of what it could do to him.
