Foods for Pancreatitis

[dottiesyrky]

Thank you, I thought I had talked with you before.
So sorry he might have eaten something bad, it sure is hard to stop them eating after sniffing!!! Hopefully, if the P was caused by a toxin, he may not be prone to it again. Great that no blood in the soft poop, so looks like his intestines are not in bad shape.
Yes the P recovery can be slow, but if they respond to treatment and low fat light foods, they do get better. To be safe though I would stick to low fat foods and lean chicken, with no people foods. I have felt bad feeding my boy only the boring Hills kibble, but luckily, he still loves it!
My feeling now is that if my dog gets any GI symptoms, its straight to the vet for a P test! Caught early is is easier to treat and cure.
Great too that the heart worm test was good.
So praying the light diet works for him and that he can be weaned onto a low fat diet and stay well on it. In the meantime, I am sure you will be concerned and watching him like a hawk.

Definitely been watching him like a hawk. I'm probably driving him insane. I check on him constantly and check around for piles of vomit multiple times a day. I sleep with his crate beside me on my bed (husband works midnights) and wake up every 2 hours to make sure he's okay and hasn't thrown up. Luckily I don't work because I'm basically a zombie at the moment.

We are almost certain this was caused by the food on the walk. He found a strip of fat from a steak that someone tossed off their balcony when they were using their bbq. He threw up a little once in the morning after (thought he just ate too fast) and then continuously a few hours later and that is when I rushed him right to the vet.

I'm a disaster at the moment because both of our senior cats are going downhill and he's been sick so I'm constantly watching them all so I know who is throwing up and who isn't.

OMG. You poor thing, on constant watch for your sick dog and cats. Quite a job being able to detect the vomit source, with three pets! Oh how I feel for you and hope that this horrible period of your life with sick pets improves soon, and you can rest knowing all is well.
Big hugs.
