Hi All!

One of my babies has been diagnosed with a GI disease.

They dont know for sure but the enzymes that are elevated in her bloodwork are the ones that would lead the vet to believe it could be pancreatitis or IBD, or a # of other GI dieases. So that being said, we KNOW there is something wrong, but we cant be sure what. So our first plan of action is to change her food to low fat, pronto. I am VERY hesitant to put her on the prescription foods, so does anyone have any good suggestions for lowfat foods? She is currently on Merrick, but i guess its too rich. I may post this in health/diet as well.

Thanks!!

purina ha for ibd and pancreatitis -- my dog has ibd in small intestines and has had two bouts back to back of pancreatitis and has been on this food for 3 years and it saved his life

what blood figures are off -- usually amylase, lipase, triglycerides, white blood cell count are all involved and most important test for pancreas is spec cpli
