Thank you so much! This has been the most helpful information we have viewed; especially, the information on how to prepare rice and food at home. We tried rice, but it was much too dry.

[@shuzhichen2429]

Thank you so much for the information and it really sooth my nerves a bit. My dog got quite acute symptoms(frequent vomiting) 2 days before so we took her to the vet and they talked about the possibility of pancreatitis. Hopefully, she will get better after getting fluids treatment and we will have a lot to work on for the later on at-home treatment.

[@DrRuthRoberts]

I'm glad to hear that the information provided some comfort. Pancreatitis can be challenging to manage, but with the right approach, your dog can recover and thrive. The fluids treatment at the vet is a crucial first step, especially for rehydration and stabilizing her condition.

[@crystaleep8143]

Thank you for the information! I have a 7 year old pitbull and since January 31st he’s been having a bloody stool. I took him to the humane society of Tampa and they diagnosed him with pancreatitis infection they gave him iv fluids and shots and sent us home with meds for 7 days. He was good and back to normal or so I thought 2 1/2 weeks ago it happened again and I took him back. Again we were sent home with meds to take. After taking the meds he was good and looked to be back to normal until yesterday morning 4/18th had to take him back but was sent home because there was no doctors available because they leave at 3:30pm 😢 now I’m here waiting for them to open at 10am to take him back. And I’m going to let them know I feel like they are misdiagnosing him. And would like more test to be done. But as always if I don’t have the funds for the extra testing they probably won’t do it because money is their first priority. 💔

Thank you for this video!! I have a GSD that is very sensitive to food change. On 07/01/2022 he started panting a little at night seems to be getting better. Plan on taking to vet tomorrow

[@curvyisnormalforme]

My dog is currently in the hospital now and ive never experienced this before. Your video was very helpful in calming me down.

[@DrRuthRoberts]

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.

Thanks for the information. It’s nice to have a doctor take the time to give such a clear explanation. My almost 14 year old mini schnauzer was extremely ill six months ago. The only abnormality found was high triglycerides and cholesterol. Tests were repeated after fasting and triglyceride was still 1300! We switched him to prescription low fat diet and triglyceride dropped to 234 and the dog gained back lost weight. Today, he won’t eat, vomited and is very lethargic. Of course, can’t get a vet appointment for a week. I’m so stressed about what to do. Hopefully, he shows some improvement or will have to sit in the emergency hospital waiting room (we waited five hours last time and he was super miserable).

[@serenity7221]

Mini schnauzer s are prone to this my baby is on a little kibble mixed with a lot of boiled chicken breast cut up small with a dose of probiotic

[@PetMommy237]

Such a HUGE help! Thank you! My 12 year old beagle heeler mix has had two Pancreatic flare ups in 3 months. I've fasted him for 24 hours and then feed a little bit of his own food after. It has luckily never lasted more than a day. I've recently put him and my other boy, who is 7 on Stella & Chewy's Essentials with wholesome grains. Decreased his protein by 6% and fats by 3%. He seems to be doing great with this new food and gets low-fat treats always. I also soak their food in water, so it's nice and soft before I feed them.

[@natalieann9691]

I also have a beagle that has these episodes do you find that this food is helping?

[@PetMommy237]

@natalieann9691 Absolutely! I do a low fat, low protein and give him milk thistle once daily. He's like a new boy and hasn't had any problems at all. He's actually bouncing around like a puppy and more himself again. However, I notice that when I do give him his breakfast or dinner in the crunchy version without the soaking, he seems to struggle a little when digesting it, and then he drinks a lot of water after.

[@lydiagildersleeve5937]

Thank you for the video, it helped me understand that my dog has chronic pancreatitis. He’s fully recovered from his latest flare up. Do you have a kibble suggestion that we can use going forward?

Thank you, that was very helpful. I did not realise its such a common occurrence among dogs. I thought canines eat raw meat in the wild and fats are good for them. It seems they are far removed from their wild cousins. The trip to the vet made it clear how serious this is. The advice for short term recovery was great. How about a video on long term feeding strategies to keep your dog in optimum health?

This is really helpful. Thank you! My 15 month old Goldendoodle just experienced a bad bout of what they diagnosed as pancreatitus. 3 days of vomiting and diarrhea. She is recovering now. You really clarified a lot of things. The vet said I need to have her on the HIll's ID low fat food indefinitely. It smells awful and she does not love it. I like your suggestion of making congee or porridge. Do you have recipe suggestions? Also, before this episode, I would use training treats since she is still a puppy. Do you have suggestions for treats I could buy or make that are low in fat and safe for pancreatitis? What about dehydrated green beans or broccoli or chicken liver? Thank you!

My pet is on his way back home from spending 3 nights at the hospital with pancreatitis. Hes still not fewling that great but we gonna care for him at home with the prescriptions they gave him. Your video sure helps a lot. I know my pet still not feeling great and he still had somw diarrhea last night and this morning . This is so scary

[@DrRuthRoberts]

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.

Mine has it too! I was wondering if there’s any connection to raw freeze dried chicken treats. I was giving them to my dog but I heard that they can contain bacteria. Even on the bag it states that if you have handled these treats that you should wash your hands… That doesn’t sound good to me, my dog is adjusting this after all.

Thank you for your video. Just watched your video. It was very helpful. Yesterday I found out my dogs blood work came back with elevated numbers for her pancreas and kidneys. She is diabetic and is 15 years old. Now her glucose is out of wack. It’s been four days since this all started. I was instructed by her internal doctor to increase her insulin by an additional unit. And she is still panting and very uncomfortable. I don’t know what to do when she she cannot stay still nor relax the poor thing. All day she is either shaking, or is warm and panting. I took her in today to get her blood pressure and glucose checked and it was pretty high. Also her temperature was not high enough for a fever. So i basically came home with no answers . I don’t know what else to do in order to calm her down and not pant so much .I do have to remove her water at times , if not she will drink all of it and then throw up. Gabapentin as recommended for the discomfort / pain. Help!

Thank you for this video. Now I understand better. My 1 yr old dog has been struggling with GI issues for over a year(bloody diarrhea) been going to the vet countless times, doctors in 2 different hospitals thinks that she might have a food allergy or she will need to do biopsy to figure out. But 2 days ago, she vomited blood for hours and hospitalized for 10 hours. But she is still doesn’t want to eat/drink, low energy. Throw up few times today. Waiting to hear this is chronic or acute. I just want to know how long this will take for her to get improved and also the doctors couldn’t figure out, but she is shaking her legs sometimes (few minutes to 2 hours) do you think this could related to her pain?

He had gone off of his food for a few days before so it was mainly liquid vomit. I took him out of hours to the vet where he was kept and then i had him kept in all day too.

[@lisagonzalez8957]

I sometimes have a hard time differentiating whether my yorkie is hypoglycemic vs pancreatitis. He has had episodes of pancreatitis before but he also will get very shaking and I feed him a small amount of food and he recovers. He’ll even through up once and I just felt he may be overly hungry and sure enough feeding him a small amount and then he’s fine. The difficult part is he now at times gets hot (to the touch) so I assume feverish and acts like his tummy hurts “prayer position as you have identified it, so it seems like he’ s got pancreatic symptoms. He is not vomiting, and not refusing food. So give him his cooked chicken, pasta rice, and his nutravite powder supplement in water and he eats it. I also give him a dose of his antacid. It’s confusing, and I feel like I’m just using trial and error with him. The other thing adding to the equation is that around my area it’s really really hard to get an appointment to see a vet. And the emergency vet is so back up, and then it’s outrageously expensive…. Does it sound like I’m on the right track? Do yorkie s respond to essential oils for pain?

My one 12-year-old was diagnosed with Pancreatitis, about a month ago. The vet recommended a food for her which she has been on since then. She is still having a few episodes of throwing up now and then. What I do not like about this food is that I cannot read most of the ingredients and the ones that I can read I have no idea whatsoever what that ingredient could be! when she was really sick, she lost about 2 pounds in a couple of days, which she has not gained back yet. ( She is a 10-pound Maltese cross Shizue and remains at 8 pounds now).

My 6 year old cavalier was just diagnosed with acute pancreatitis. This was the first time I actually brought her in to the vet being sick. However…. She has had chronic tummy issues and grass eating and throwing up and then not eating and and air licking and licking of the carpet over the last 4 years. She has been on weight management food for a year now prior to getting really sick. She does not get treats or people food ever. I have no idea how she got so sick. My question is can my other dog transfer some sort of bacteria or bug through her saliva when she laps up water out of my little ones dish?

Dr. Ruth my 9 year old male dog was recently diagnosed with diabetes secondary to pancreatits. He recieves insulin injection everyday, i ask his vet if i could stop the insulin if his blood sugar goes normal but the vet said its a lifetime medication already and he looks skinny with a body weight ok 14kg but befire he usually weights 20-22kg. Can you give me any advice on this Dr. Ruth?

[@DrRuthRoberts]

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.

My baby was 4 days in the hospital when I picked him up he was waiting worse I took him home and he was healing rapidly this Sunday he got extremely lethargic labs came normal wbc elevated he’s able to move a bit upper body but doesn’t have he strength to hold his weight or get up ultrasound came out with inflammation and pancreatitis I got baytril 130 mg and gabapentin 1000mg twice a day vet said if he doesn’t recover by Friday I should consider putting him down please help

[@DrRuthRoberts]

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_]

@@DrRuthRoberts Thank you. He’s primary vet did a horrible job so I got a second opinion he has a urine infection and inflammation along with pancreatitis he advised me to only give him 1 dosage of 300mg to see how he does because today he has barely moved tonight I gave him water and a lil bit of food boiled chicken breast and sweet potato with a syringe since he hardly is getting up or holding his weight im guessing is due to pain we’re not sure he has been holding his pee (he hates peeing or poopin inside the home) while he was extremely sedated he did #2 and had a few drops of pee

[@Tatival_]

@@DrRuthRoberts do you know of any natural alternatives

[@DrRuthRoberts]

@@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.

Is it good to feed enzymes to prevent or help pancreatitis to take the strain off it?

[@DrRuthRoberts]

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.

[@hurtlingasteroid4014]

@@DrRuthRoberts thanks Dr Ruth. I don't think my girl has pancreatitis, am trying to avoid it. I do give her a supplement that has probiotics and digestive enzymes though. If she is healthy is that okay? I will check with the vet I bought the product for the probiotics mostly and I read somewhere that if you don't feed raw, but gently cooked whole foods, that dogs may need enzymes. Sigh. Hard to know what to do sometimes.

You manner, voice and advice is calming. Thanks. :)

[@DrRuthRoberts]

@@hurtlingasteroid4014 It's wonderful to hear that you're proactive about your dog's health and are considering all aspects of her diet. 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. As for digestive enzymes, they can indeed help in breaking down the food more efficiently, making nutrients more accessible for absorption, particularly if the diet lacks certain natural enzymes typically found in raw foods. 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. Each pet is unique, and what works for one might not be ideal for another. Maintaining a diet that supports your dog's digestive health without stressing the pancreas is key. If you ever notice any changes in her digestion or overall health, it might be worth revisiting the balance of supplements and diet components you're using.

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?

[@DrRuthRoberts]

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.
