So, how is he?
I found this and wanted to share it with you.
May of 1998 brought the diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis. Pancreatitis is a very painful condition and not always easily diagnosable. The pancreas become inflamed, then do not function normally which adversely affects the digestive process. Treatment usually involves withholding food and water until the crisis passes followed by bland diet. A word of warning, if left untreated, pancreatitis can be fatal. Sparky's diet was changed to that of no, or very low fat, restricted protein - specifically boiled chicken in small quantities, egg, rice or pasta and small quantities of broccoli due to the pancreatitis and tendency to form bladder stones (calcium oxalate). I added Prozyme (digestive enzymes) to help him pre-digest his food, allowing his digestive system perform better, Vitamin B50 Complex, Calcium/Magnesium, and Vitamin D, very small amount to help bind with oxelates in the gut and keep them from reaching his kidneys) as well as other supplements. I had also added Milkthistle - reported to help the liver function more efficiently. If you decide to add Milksthistle, then make sure you don't have the additives such as artichoke (it acts as a diuretic). See the link for Sparky's Diet at the bottom of this page.
