I was looking at this too - it's pretty low in fat and protein and close to the Scient Diet W/D.

Watch which Wellness you get as some have higher fat content - this Holistic Blen (fish) is about the lowest - unless you go with their canned food. I wonder why canned is lower in fat and protein vs. dry?

So i put non fat cottage cheese on. Now i'm trying to up it to 1% which is only 1.5 grams of fat per 1/2 c and she gets about 1/2 tsp at each meal not much fat but I know she needs some so i'm trying to get it in where i can!

What type of fish do you give Layla? Talapia? How much? Like 1 oz?

Izzy is terrible too and she's so thin to begin with that she also needs some fat but boy if I go above that 8.7% fat content I'm afraid she'll have to go to the vet again.

Layla gets Salmon, Cod, Talapia and another white fish that i forget the name of. She usually gets .5- 1 oz a day- her main protein is turkey, rabbit or venison, i just try and hide the fish in there as best as i can.

Luckily for me, Layla has no symptoms of pancreatitis except when I try to give her omega oils- she usually throws up bile 2 nights after- go figure

I'm new here, and I have a couple of questions about Baylee. He is 7 months old, and he weighs 2.9 lbs. He eats twice a day (Solid Gold's Hodjken Flocken-if I spelled it correctly ). Well on last Wednesday, I noticed that Baylee threw up a yellow, clear substance. He plays regularly, runs, jumps, hides...everything else he normally does-even after this episode. Last night, I noticed that he vomited some of his food and then he ate it before I could stop him. So....This morning around 3 a.m. he wanted out of his bed, because he pooped in it, and it was a soft stool-not solid as it usually is. I immediately cleaned the area, cleaned all of his toys, and washed the plush ones. I did not put his food down for him, and only left the water. When I woke up this morning, he threw up again-yellow, clear substance. I've only left the water down-no food. I plan to go home on my lunch break and take him to the vet if this worsens. What are your suggestions? Any of your own, prior experiences similar to this one? PLEASE ADVISE...Thanks-Stan

Hi stan-
Was Baylee's bloodwork done before he was neutered? Was anything off at all? Probably not a bad idea to at least have his stool checked. If he keeps vomiting, I would definitely take him in. Generally, vomiting bile (the clear yellow foamy vomit) is usually an indication of a too empty stomach. However, every pup on here that has experience pancreatitis or other intestinal illnesses have all vomited bile on a fairly regular basis (even if it is just once a week), so I would kep this in mind.

A quality low-fat yogurt such as Stoneyfield Organic, or Dannon Naturals may be good to begin giving him to add some probiotics to his system. Doesn't need to have much - maybe a tablespoon. Most pups love it!!!!!

Good luck!

Can she tolerate flaxseed? Isn't that part of the omega family? Not sure.

that would be too easy- flaxseed makes her chew her paws.

Oh! Thanks Ya'll...I dunno how to start a thread on my own. However, Baylee went to the Vet yesterday, and a CBC test was done. His labs turned out to be normal, and he was given a Reglan shot for nausea. Right now, he is acting fine and eating like a pig ( I guess he has to make up for yesterday). When I got home, I noticed where he got into an artificial plant and chewed the stem of one of the leaves. Who knows? ...His tummy ache may have been caused by that. Either way, he's doing great, and thanks so much for your concern and responses.
