canine pancreatitis diet food

Any time a dog is fed human food there is the risk of them developing pancreatitis, and even one meal can be enough to cause it. Keep in mind that human food is much higher in fat than foods designed for dogs, and dogs cannot process those fats. Pancreatitis is EXTREMELY painful, and if that is what is causing her problems, that's why she is shaking.

He had an abcess on his prostate and also pancreatitis. His blood work showed high BUN and creatinine so was also diagnosed with renal failure. After leaving the vet, the doctor put him on Royal Canin LP dry food for renal failure. He is also on Epakitin. It has been almost 2 months and we took him back to be neutered and have blood work done. His blood work showed that his BUN and creatnine had not increased anymore so the food must be doing his kidneys good.

Your Vet wants to change his food because He (Your Vet) makes money off of selling YOU, Science Diet! I bet he doesn't sell Royal Canine, does he? There's your answer.....Price wise, they cost about the same...RC may be a little less. I think the RC is better....My dog liked it better, also....Stick with your original thinking and just tell your Vet that your happy with what you have.....Just say you've tried it before and your dog liked the Royal Canine, better.

Thank you so much for you raw food suggestion. I am not quite sure what that type of diet entails but I am willing to listen to all ideas and/or explainations for a diabetic do diet. Like I said earlier, her vet doesn't have any ideas other then the Low Residue rx foods because Sweety has a very sensitive stomach. Or the old stand by of boiled white meat only chicken and veggies such as broccoli or green beans, she hates green beans!

The vet might be able to suggest a prescription-diet basic dry food for him, which would help him get all the nutrients he needs, and help him on his way back to full recovery and strength. You could gradually introduce this to the food you are giving him right now. Other people on this forum are sure to have had experience of feeding a dog with pancreatitis, or recovering from it, and will have some good suggestions. Good luck. So glad he is much better!

I think it's best to avoid garlic. Garlic and onions are very similar, and onions are a definite no for dogs. Some people do give dogs garlic, and the dogs seem to be ok, but I always think it's best to avoid it. As I said, dogs' sense of taste and smell is something like a hundred times more powerful than ours, so they get the taste of their food very well, and don't need any added seasonings.

I am looking for a dog food for our rat terrier who has issues with chronic pancreatitis, high cholesterol and trig. We presently have her on Hill's W/D but would like a maintenance low fat food.

The safest diet for dogs is regular, commercially available dog food. I have 3 large breed dogs, and almost never give them any people food. They don't "need" it, and people food often helps contribute to canine obesity, if overdone.

Since being on this routine, only approx 5 days, he is drinking heavily, urinating constantly and he eats very little, leaving most of the food in his bowl, hating the prescription diet food. How can I know this is the best solution? I want to get a second opinion and see if another Vet will conclude that the specific diet plan and medications are the way too go. I really want to give him high quality salmon and chicken as has been mentioned in this blog to help him eat more.

I am glad I found this post! I am driving myself crazy with my chiweenie's chronic pancreatitis. I have triend just about every kind out food out there. Nothing has worked either she couldnt stand te food or it would cause a flare up. I have been feeding her boiled chicken lately and she is doing fine with that but i am not sure if it is going to help her or hurt her in the long run. I have not tried evo however is there a certain kind of evo i should try?

When a dog is diagnosed with pancreatitis it is usually blamed on a high-fat diet but a diet that is high in fat will not cause pancreatitis in a dog with a healthy pancreas. A high-fat diet will, however, aggravate an already-diseased pancreas to the point where an attack of pancreatitis is the result. Some dogs are genetically predisposed to pancreatic disease. Dogs with parathyroid conditions are predisposed, as are dogs who get too much calcium in their diets.

Hello, I just stumbled upon this group while continuing my week long research into kidney failure. My dog Blu (an english setter) was diagnosed with kidney failure about 10 days ago. His Creatinine level was a 7 and his BUN was 111, so he was admitted and spent 4 days on IV fluids in the hospital. After the fluids his Creatinine level was down to about a 6 but his BUN was up to a bit (I don't remember the exact number) and he was also anemic.

They sent her home and put her on the royal canine renal food and subcutaneous fluids twice a week. She has since had normal stool with a small amount of blood followed by diarrhea with more blood. I have given her plain yogurt the past two days but may stop that now. The vet wants to put her back on her old food Natural Balance-I got the can instead of the kibble and wants me to give her famotidine for the diarrhea. She is still drinking some water and peeing.

You definitely have to watch the diet. Ask your Vet for a recommendation on the food. There are dog food companies that do make special diets for animals with stones! hills and Royal Canin make special diets or consult a canine nutritionist to recommend a good home made diet. Hope all works out well.

you are correct, cat food, being richer, has set off his pancreatitis. As you know acute pancreatitis can be a fatal event. It can also be transient. no one knows how your dog will do. Medications will decrease the severity of this event and sounds like if you get him over this you have managed his diet very well. I'd like to see his pancreatic work up and treat him to get him over this quickly and so that it does not progress further.

In addition to the binder, the diet needs assessing, so that phosphorous content in food is reduced as much as is possible. Amylase is high, which means your dog has pancreatitis. Did your vet mention this? An inflamed pancreas can be very painful and is made worse by fatty dog foods - so reduce all fat in food as much as possible until the pancreatitis is resolved.

She thought she had the flu for over two weeks, she went to the ER and was admitted for acute pancreatitis. She stayed in the hospital for 2 weeks. Ellie is a vegan so her diet was optimal to start with. After a month or two things settled back into normal and then she had another episode in October/11. Scans and tests do not reveal any stones or blocked ducts but 1/3 of her pancreas is necrotic. She was a healthy 25 yr old that by her own admission did drink beer and or wine but not to excess.

I have had what my gastroenterologist calls mild pancreatitis several times in the last few years. What can I do to prevent the pancreatitis from re-occurring? Is there a specific diet? My doctor just says, "bed rest, lots of fluids, a light diet." I'm not sure what "a light diet" means. Since I already eat light (6 VERY small meals a day - due to my many intestinal surgeries), I don't know what more I can do.

t eat, we feel we have to try ANYTHING at all to get him to eat! But stop. Right now. Pedigree is basically canine junk food, and hotdogs are much too laden with salt and fat to be the right thing to eat (much as he wants these things!) Drinking milk is better than drinking nothing I guess. But dogs are lactose-intolerant, by their very natures! Milk is not a good idea, even if it does contain Vitamin D.

My mother has been suffering from Pancreatitis for the past 4months. She has been in hospital three times with severe pain, vomitting, and fluid in the abdominal. In that time she has lots over 25kg. She is 60 years old but since loosing so much weight she looks like 80 years old. She no longer drinks but continues to smoke. What worries me the most is that she eats very tiny amount of food, she vomitts everyday and she is just not getting any better.

In general, most docs tell patients who have acute pancreatitis to follow a liquid diet for a period of time then slowly transition to a soft diet that is very low in fat. That can be followed up by changing back to a 'regular' low fat diet. The digestive enzymes - Creon - will be used to help to digest the food you take in.

I saw on an earlier post that a high protein low starch (anti-cancer) diet was recommended and Aleda Cheng indicated that she would post the diet if wanted. The person did not request the diet, but I would be very interested in the diet. Does anyone have any information on this diet? I know the prognosis for my dog is not good, so any other suggestions would be appreciated.
