What is the best home cooked diet for pancreatitis?
@DrRuthRoberts
@DrRuthRoberts Сағат бұрын
For a pet suffering from pancreatitis, a home-cooked diet can be a soothing and effective way to manage their condition. The key is to focus on low-fat, highly digestible ingredients that don't overburden the pancreas. A simple and beneficial recipe could include boiled, skinless chicken or turkey as the protein source, as these are lean and easy on the stomach. You can pair this with cooked white rice or pumpkin, which are both gentle on the digestive system. It's crucial to avoid any added fats, so make sure not to include oils or butter in the preparation. Adding in some cooked vegetables like carrots or zucchini can provide fiber and nutrients, but these should be pureed or very well-cooked to aid in digestibility. Remember, the goal is to create a meal that is tasty yet as simple as possible to ensure it doesn't trigger further inflammation of the pancreas.

After listening to this, I'm questioning if my yorkiepoo actually has pancreatitis (as diagnosed) or if it's something else. He doesn't vomit but has spells with bloody mucus stools. He's on a prescription dog food and has been for years. I'm just now looking at changing his diet to whole food, low-fat protein, home cooked meals. I've been scared up till now, afraid of doing more harm than good. I've decided to try this method since he's been having these bad stools off and on for a month. In the past, it's been one episode, which clears up after removing his food for 24hrs. We are incredibly careful that he doesn't get anything he's not supposed to have. No treats... just his script food. Would you have any advice for me?

Pancreatitis can indeed be a tricky diagnosis, especially when the symptoms don’t quite align with the typical vomiting and abdominal pain. Bloody mucus stools can indicate several other gastrointestinal issues as well, such as colitis or inflammatory bowel disease. Switching to a whole food, low-fat protein, home-cooked diet can be a beneficial step, and it’s understandable to feel apprehensive about making such a significant change. A fresh diet can often help alleviate chronic gastrointestinal issues by reducing inflammation and providing more easily digestible nutrients. For example, the Original CrockPet Diet (pets.holisticpethealthcoach.com/TOCPD) has benefited many dogs with similar issues. It emphasizes fresh, whole ingredients and can be tailored to reduce fat content gradually to find the right balance for your yorkiepoo. When transitioning to a home-cooked diet, start with easily digestible proteins like chicken or turkey and pair them with simple carbohydrates like rice or sweet potatoes. Gradually introduce new ingredients and monitor your dog's response. If your yorkiepoo has a history of allergies, rotating proteins and vegetables can prevent sensitivities from developing. It’s also crucial to ensure the diet is balanced with the necessary vitamins and minerals. Supplements like omega-3 fatty acids and turmeric can help reduce inflammation, but introduce them slowly to avoid overwhelming your dog's system.

Just said goodbye to my dog yesterday after 15 years of making us all happy. Her uterus was removed the day before but it couldn't save her kidney. I blame it on myself because I always thought she was the healthiest dog I've ever had and therefore didn't need annual vet checkups. I lost her baby just 13 months ago and I was also devastated from that. Now I only have one dog left and I promise I will do my best so he can live longer.

My heart truly goes out to you during this incredibly difficult time. Losing a beloved pet is one of the hardest experiences, especially after such a long and cherished companionship. It's natural to feel a sense of guilt, but please remember that you provided your dog with a wonderful life filled with love and care. Sometimes, despite our best efforts, things beyond our control happen. Reflecting on your promise to do the best for your remaining dog, there are several steps you can take to ensure his health and longevity. Regular vet checkups are crucial; they can help catch potential issues early, even in seemingly healthy pets. Focusing on a holistic approach to his care can make a significant difference. Consider integrating real, whole foods into his diet, as proper nutrition is foundational to health (pets.holisticpethealthcoach.com/TOCPD). Regular exercise is also essential, not only for physical well-being but also for mental stimulation and happiness. Daily walks, playtime, and even simple activities like fetch or agility exercises can help keep him fit and content. Moreover, paying attention to his emotional health is just as important. Dogs are incredibly intuitive and can sense our emotions. Creating a calm and loving environment will help him feel secure and happy. Techniques like the clear energy technique or spending quality time together can make a big difference. Lastly, don't hesitate to seek support from a holistic pet health coach. They can provide personalized guidance and support, helping you navigate any health concerns and ensuring your dog lives his best life.

I'm so glad to hear that my video comforted you during this stressful time. It's incredibly tough when our beloved pets are in the hospital, and it's perfectly natural to feel overwhelmed. One thing to keep in mind is that your calm and presence can significantly impact your dog's recovery. Pets are incredibly perceptive and often mirror our emotions. Staying calm and optimistic can help your dog feel more secure and less anxious, even in a hospital setting. This might be an excellent time to practice some simple relaxation techniques. Take a few minutes to sit quietly, breathe deeply, and visualize your dog recovering and returning home healthy. This can help you stay grounded and provide positive energy that your dog can sense. If you haven't already, consider getting pet insurance. It can be a lifesaver in situations like this, where unexpected medical expenses can add up quickly. Knowing that most of the costs will be covered can alleviate some of the financial stress and allow you to focus on what matters most-your dog's health.

I'm so sorry to hear about what your baby is going through. Pancreatitis can be a very challenging condition, and it's understandable that you're feeling desperate. Elevated white blood cell counts often indicate inflammation or infection, and the inflammation seen on the ultrasound aligns with the diagnosis of pancreatitis. First, let's talk about his diet. A bland, low-fat diet is crucial during this period to reduce the strain on his pancreas. You might want to consider a home-cooked diet like the CrockPet Diet, (pets.holisticpethealthcoach.com/TOCPD) but with modifications to suit his current condition. For instance, using extremely lean proteins and reducing the amount of oil to just one or two tablespoons per batch can help manage the fat intake. Secondly, it's essential to ensure he's staying hydrated. Dehydration can exacerbate pancreatitis, so offering him small amounts of water frequently or even subcutaneous fluids if he's not drinking enough might be necessary. Pain management is also critical. Gabapentin can help with pain, but you may need to consult with your vet about the dosage and frequency to ensure it's providing adequate relief without causing sedation that could affect his mobility. Lastly, I can't stress enough the importance of a second opinion. Sometimes, a fresh set of eyes can provide new insights or alternative treatment options that might not have been considered initially. If you feel in your heart that there's more that can be done, trust that instinct and seek out another veterinary professional.

@@Tatival_Natural anti-inflammatories. Turmeric, which contains curcumin, has potent anti-inflammatory properties. You can mix a small amount of turmeric with his food, but start with a very tiny dose, as too much can upset his stomach. Another option is fish oil, which is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and can help reduce inflammation. A high-quality fish oil supplement can be added to his food, but again, start with a lower dose to ensure it doesn't cause any digestive issues. For pain management, consider CBD oil, which has shown promise in alleviating pain and inflammation in pets. Make sure to choose a product specifically formulated for pets and consult with your vet about the appropriate dosage. Hydration is crucial, especially with pancreatitis. You might try bone broth, which is not only hydrating but also soothing to the digestive tract. Make sure it's low in fat and free from onions, garlic, or other harmful additives. Probiotics can also play a significant role in supporting his gut health, especially since he's dealing with a urinary infection and pancreatitis. A high-quality, pet-specific probiotic can help restore the balance of good bacteria in his gut and support his overall immune function. Lastly, consider incorporating gentle, supportive herbs like milk thistle, which can help support liver function and detoxification. Again, it's essential to start with a small dose and monitor his response.

@DrRuthRoberts 24 күн бұрын
It's understandable to have concerns about starting subcutaneous fluids (sub-Qs) at this stage. According to the International Renal Interest Society (IRIS) guidelines, a creatinine level of 2.6 indicates stage 2 kidney disease. While some veterinarians might recommend fluids earlier to help support kidney function, there are other ways to manage kidney health at this point. One of the most important aspects is diet. I generally advise against switching to a low-protein diet too early, as it can lead to muscle wasting, which is detrimental to older pets. Instead, focus on increasing the moisture content in their diet. Cooking for your pets, such as using the CrockPet diet (pets.holisticpethealthcoach.com/TOCPD), can significantly boost their fluid intake and help reduce the workload on their kidneys. Also, consider incorporating quercetin into their regimen, as it has shown promise in reducing creatinine levels over time. This, combined with a high-quality, moisture-rich diet, can often make a substantial difference in managing kidney health.

Fava beans can indeed be toxic to dogs due to a compound called vicine, which can cause a condition known as hemolytic anemia. Since your dog has consumed 11 fava beans, acting promptly is crucial. First, I recommend contacting your veterinarian immediately. They can provide specific guidance and may suggest bringing your dog in for an examination. In the meantime, observe your dog closely for any signs of distress, such as vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or changes in behavior. If you notice any of these symptoms, seeking veterinary care is even more urgent. Hydration is also vital, so ensure your dog can access fresh water. However, avoid giving additional food or home remedies until you've consulted with your vet, as these might interfere with any treatments they provide. How is your dog currently behaving after consuming the fava beans?

I'm sorry to hear about your dog's health challenges. Managing diabetes in conjunction with pancreatitis can indeed be complex, and weight loss is a common concern in diabetic pets. Firstly, it's important to maintain a consistent insulin regimen, as your vet advises, since diabetes, especially when linked to pancreatitis, typically requires lifelong management. The insulin helps regulate blood sugar levels, which can fluctuate unpredictably with pancreatitis. His weight loss is a common issue in diabetic dogs. It's essential to focus on a diet supporting his pancreatic health while meeting his nutritional needs to help manage his weight. A diet low in fat and moderate in fiber can be beneficial. The CrockPet Diet, which I developed, is tailored to support pets with various health conditions, including diabetes and pancreatitis, by using balanced, homemade meals that can be adjusted to meet specific health requirements. Check here: drruthroberts.com/products/the-original-crockpet-diet-recipes-and-ebook-by-dr-ruth-roberts?_pos=1&_psq=the+o&_ss=e&_v=1.0 Additionally, regularly monitoring his blood sugar levels at home can be a valuable tool in managing his diabetes more effectively. This will help you and your vet decide about his insulin therapy and dietary needs. Lastly, ensure he is getting gentle, regular exercise. This can help stabilize blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity. However, always consult with your vet before adjusting his exercise routine.

I'm so glad to hear that my videos have been helpful to you during this challenging time. Pancreatitis can indeed be a frightening experience, both for your pet and for you as a caregiver. It's important to closely monitor his condition at home following such a severe episode. The persistence of diarrhea indicates that his digestive system is still quite sensitive and recovering. Managing his diet will be crucial in the next few days. A bland, low-fat diet can be beneficial. Foods that are easy to digest such as boiled chicken and rice, without any spices or oils, can help in settling his stomach and reducing gastrointestinal stress. It’s also important to ensure he stays hydrated but be cautious with his water intake; too much at once can lead to further stomach upset. Offering ice chips can help keep him hydrated without overloading his stomach. Monitoring his symptoms closely will be key in managing his recovery at home. Watch for signs of improvement or any worsening of symptoms. If he continues to have diarrhea, or if he starts vomiting, becomes lethargic, or shows signs of abdominal pain, it would be wise to contact your veterinarian promptly. These could be signs that his pancreatitis is not yet under control.

I think my dog has kidney disease because when I took her in for a routine ultrasound that was included in her senior plan at my current bet, the results came back with two diagnosis of Diffuse hepatopathy and Bilateral chronic renal degeneration. She had had bloodwork prior to this five months before and the results of that compared to the iris data said that she would’ve been in early stage one. I don’t know if that bloodwork could’ve changed so that’s why I’m going to get it retested now that I have the ultrasound results. But I have driving myself crazy trying to figure out what I can do to keep my baby with me for as long as possible. I feed her Dr Harvey’s with 2oz of 90% lean ground beef and I give her solutions better butter tea goat, milk because she doesn’t drink a lot and never has which I think is part of the problem. I always have to find some other way of getting the hydration into her because she even with freshwater doesn’t like to go to the water bowl which I know is critical for kidney dogs she’s also an extremely picky eater.

@DrRuthRoberts
@DrRuthRoberts Ай бұрын
Hi! Feeding enzymes to support pancreatitis can be a complex topic. Generally, during active pancreatitis, it's crucial to avoid supplemental enzymes because they can exacerbate the condition by further inflaming the already irritated pancreas. Instead, focusing on a low-fat, highly digestible diet can help alleviate the strain on the pancreas. For preventive measures or in cases of chronic pancreatitis where there isn't an acute flare-up, the use of enzymes needs to be very carefully managed. It's essential to work closely with your veterinarian to monitor your pet's condition and adjust their diet and supplements accordingly. The goal is to support the pancreas without overwhelming it, which can sometimes be a delicate balance.

You're right; the decision-making process can sometimes feel overwhelming with all the available information. Using a supplement that includes both probiotics and digestive enzymes can be beneficial, especially if you're feeding gently cooked whole foods instead of a raw diet. Probiotics are excellent for maintaining healthy gut flora, which is crucial for overall health and digestion.

However, it's smart to consult with your veterinarian, as you plan to do. They can provide guidance tailored to your dog's specific health needs and dietary requirements.

I'm sorry to hear about the health challenges your cats are facing with chlamydia. It's good to hear that one of your cats has responded well to the treatment, but I understand your concern for the one still showing symptoms. Regarding the use of the ophthalmic ointment, it's generally a good step if the eyedrops were not fully effective. Ointments can sometimes offer a more prolonged contact time with the eye, which might help in clearing up any lingering infection. However, it’s crucial to monitor his response to the ointment closely and keep in touch with your vet if symptoms persist or worsen. As for your healthy cat, it's usually not necessary to treat animals that aren't showing symptoms. Preventative treatment isn't typically recommended unless there's a specific reason to believe the disease might spread or if your vet advises it based on their particular susceptibility or health history. Overuse of antibiotics can lead to resistance, so it's best used only when clearly needed. Always ensure that the treatment duration and dosages are followed as prescribed by your vet to avoid incomplete treatment, which can lead to recurrence of the infection.

Hello Dr. Ruth, thank you for this informative share. Here's what's happening with my fur baby Gizmo(16 yrs young). Mind you, he has not been vomiting, nooo diarrhea but soft stool and no praying position. He has had bloating after eating and abdominal pain. This weekend, Gizmo was shaking and could only lift himself from his front paws. Ugh... rush is to the ER they ran blood work, and took xrays. Everything came back fine. Including neurological unremarkable aside some sensitivity on keft neck palpitation. Normal sensation and motor on all 4 limbs.I was told that he may have COMS(caudal occipital malformation syndrome). After bring given Cernis and Hypertonic saline his neurological symptoms improve drastically. The suggested he be admitted for a few days and seen by neurology . $6-8000! I said, no way. Total bill was almost $1600.00! Discharge with Hycodan 5mg tabs. Give 1/4 tab every 6-8 hours. Visbiome Vet Capsules: 1 capsule by mouth every 24 hours. Omeprazole 20mg: 1/4 tab every 24 hours. When we left there he was standing and walking slowly. That night I checked on him at 3am. He had defecated on himself and could not stand at all. Rushed him back to the ER. 5 hours later, basically the same thing and same recommendation. Take him home and give him the meds and another bill of almost $500! I got busy trying to help my Gizmo. Gave him his meds. I prayed over him. I massaged his legs and out a few drops of cbd on his inner thighs. Within an hour he was able to push himself up onto his rear legs and walking slowly. Til this day he is able to walk slowly. The problem is that today his was shaking alot after i gave him some homemade pureed food( chicken, carrots, broccoli, sweet potato,etc). He didn't eat a lot. Sooooo...off to a different ER vet closer to home. This vet suspects pancreatitis and also may have kidney issues due to elevated labs. Creatinine 2.0, BUM 49, ALP 585, and Lipase 4860! Suggested $1000 sonogram and if necessary admit for a few days for treatment for $3-4000! I said, " Im on SS, I'm already in the holde for $2800 with all these visits. I cant afford anything else! They sent him home with Clavamax for possible UTI, Cerenia for 4 day( got an injection at the ER and more gabapentin. Told to continue other meds too (accept for gabapentin pills since she gave me the liquid and syringe). Dr. Ruth any advice from you would be greatly appreciated. After Gizmo and my other dog Lucky, its over. NO MORE PETS. PS: NEVER SAID DON'T FEED HIM for a period of time. Just the opposite, gave me meds that must be given with food!

Please pray for me. I’m so stressed out. My 13.5 year old chihuahua had labs done this week and had a creatinine of 12. It was normal 2 years ago. She got a Rabies vaccine 3 weeks ago and has collapsed trachea. She’s sometimes aggressive so they muzzled her at the vet. I wasn’t there but they say she passed out and needed oxygen. Basically it’s so hard to watch your dog deteriorate over night. I’ve already spent 2600 dollars. Emergency 3 day overnight will be 5 to 6 thousand. This all happened so fast.

I'm truly sorry to hear about the distressing situation you and your cherished Chihuahua are going through. It sounds incredibly challenging, and your feelings of stress and heartache are completely understandable. A sudden deterioration in a pet's health can feel overwhelming and often leaves us feeling helpless. It's also important to take care of yourself during this stressful time. Reaching out for support from friends and family can provide some comfort and practical help.

My Sampson is a 7 year old male neutered jack Russell/Chihuahua that has always had bouts of extreme anxiety. I spent a lot of time at home making changes in food, treats, omit treats, and finally switch his diet to strictly boiled chicken and rice. I've had him on 50/50 alternating diet of chicken and rice one day then back to his preferred wet beef chunk pedigree mixed w dry (blue or other higher Brand of dry.....I know the pedigree defeats the purpose. Anyways a couple of weeks ago out of the blue my dog got really sick. He wasn't vomitting and no diarrhea or anything quite the opposite he wants like a whole week without hardly eating or drinking any water or going to the bathroom at all. He was also obviously distressed and in pain as well as being in that prayer position. I finally took him to the emergency vet. They ended up keeping him for three days after running tests and diagnosing him with pancreatitis. I'm not sure what they did in those three days other than keep him on fluids I know they gave him an injection of some medication for pancreatitis and sent him home with a few antibiotics some stomach acid relief pills and some nausea medicine which I was unable to give him due to the fact that he would not eat or drink anything. Not only would he not eat or drink anything but I could not get near him without him lashing out at me like a rabid Pitbull trying to bite me. Every time I need the slightest movement scream and cry and last out and try to bite me. That's been about 3 weeks ago now and I assume that all of that has to do with the fact that I left him for 3 days because I've never left him he goes everywhere I go he rides in the car we go to the store I never leave him home. I just thought leaving him for 3 Days in there and letting them do all that stuff to him he thinks I'm the enemy and it would pass. But it hasn't passed. He's starting to eat and drink water again and he gets around a lot better now but I have no prescriptions for him nobody gave him anything really other than those few pills and now my dog hates me he thinks I'm the enemy he's not the same dog he was at all he won't go outside he won't leave my room he's skittish and he's just scared all the time and he was a little tough guy he was never scared of anything. My question to you is do you think that this will pass have you ever heard anything like this before. Or has anybody experienced anything like this?

Thank you so much for making this, Dr. My 16.5 year old male cat rejects the Aventia his internist gave him. He ate it at first in his wet food, but after a week he gave it a hard pass. Tried a couple weeks later with a much smaller amount and he walked away from the dish. I know getting fish oil into him is crucial. Do you have any tips for how I could do this with some success? I assume he’s not into the overtly fishy smell.
@DrRuthRoberts
@DrRuthRoberts Ай бұрын
Since your cat is not keen on the overtly fishy smell of the Aventia, you might consider trying a fish oil product with a different scent profile. Some fish oils come with flavor enhancements like orange or lemon, which might be less off-putting to your cat than the traditional fishy aroma. These can sometimes be more palatable to cats who are sensitive to stronger fish odors.

I am aware of the tons of chemicals and how evil is genetic modifying everything. This stuff is far from healthy. Not good us nor our animals or the environment. Its Fake, is poison to anything natural. it's killing everything. Especially food with changed or altered dna, it's not recognized by our bodies therefore means zero nutrition. Jmo

Hi, Standard Process Renal Supplements are not exclusively for senior dogs. They are designed to support kidney health across various life stages and conditions. While it's true that kidney issues are more common in older dogs, younger dogs with kidney challenges or those exposed to factors that may stress kidney function can also benefit from these supplements. The formulation aims to support the entire renal system, which can be beneficial for dogs of any age dealing with kidney health concerns.

My boxer was dx with hemangiosarcoma when her spleen ruptured and she died! I did CPR and brought to ER! I was told her dx, I said give me something to stop the bleeding! I gave her Chinese herb& brought to my traditional vet! He told me she had 3 days to live or euthanize her! Well I am in human healthcare, so I researched everything! Post dx now 8 months she is thriving! She is on a holistic natural food diet plus mushrooms, and supplements! I have thrown the kitchen sink at it! She is doing great with a great quality of life! So yes if people would learn that TCVM & natural food diet can definitely help! Of course she is going to be 9 years old in 2 weeks, she has a fight to live because knows she can’t leave me alone! We had just lost my husband her father months prior to her dx! So yes she is not in pain and enjoying life! I now introduced Ivermectin for heartworm prevention plus natural oils because I live in Louisiana! I will never let her suffer, so I also pray everyday for guidance!❤❤❤
