Chica Has Pancreatitis!!!

[MontanaRott]

Just wondering how Chica is doing and what was said about feeding a raw diet to a dog that has had pancreatitis.
Whitney had a bout last night and today after getting hold of about a tablespoon of ground beef that Guerin dropped last night.
She is fine now because I started dosing her with pepto after I notcied she was a bit uncomfortable and is sleeping like a log now, poor girl is exhausted.
It was her being set off by ground beef that made me think about Chica.

Funny I was just thinking I should get back to you. Well Chica is back to her old self...infact she's being quite naughty lately...between her and the foster dog I'm going a little crazy. Vet said he doesn't think we should abandon it just yet because he believes it was from the peanut butter (which she ate for 4 days getting a little sicker each day and me attributing it to heat etc...I know "bad mom") since she had so many allergy symptoms as well. So the recommendation is too slowly substitute a little raw each day for the boiled hamburger until she's eating just raw and rice (which she is pretty much doing now) and to keep a really close eye on her. So far so good. If it happens again (and at least I know the early symptoms) then we will go another route. Thanks for asking.

Good to hear! The symptoms sure are easy to spot once you have been through it! Here's hoping your girl never suffers another bout!
