Quote:
And if you have cats make sure your little guy does not eat any it can cause pancreatitis also.

Sorry,.. teehee,.. I try not to let my dogs eat my cat. That might be problematic.
 
glad your dog is doing better.
My dog has had pancreatitis 2 different times.
2nd time, she was in the hosp for a week with IV fluids (both arms shaved), iv nausea meds and iv antibiotics, iv pain meds.
she was so sick they didn't even put her in a kennel, just left her in the middle of the floor and stepped over her (100+ lb black lab)
we think it was the pork ribs that I had cooked 2 days before and my husband gave her the left overs and bones.
Vet said NO pork, and no beef, so now it's NO people food.
I buy food for her that is "grain free" due to skin allergies
per my vet, most dogs do not live that have had pancreatitis because people don't get them to the vet in time and it's very expensive treatments
 
You can try to prevent it by avoiding sudden diet changes and rich, fatty foods. If the dog gets it more than once the docs I work with usually prescribe a low fat vet formula food to help avoid it. One of my first intensive care cases was "Buster", he died from it even with hospitalization...

...I think they meant not to let your dog eat your cat's "food", because its too rich and can trigger pancreatitis...
