Dear MoonandBean,
Thank you so much for your help. From what I understand his dog spent a week in the hospital on IV fluids because she was vomiting and having diarrhea, so her pancreas was pretty well rested then. Why would your friend say not to feed her chicken and "Halo" canned food, I wonder? I thought they are supposed to be on a low fat, high protein diet... This is so confusing. The hardest part seems to be exactly what this dog should be eating and it is extremely hard to tell your vet you don't want to feed the dog what he suggests....oh my... do you trust your vet or not? i guess you should tell your vet you want to try this or that food and see if he sees a problem with it??... do you all agree the dog needs high protein? should he look for something like 'pedialyte' for her electrolytes? Wonder why the vet wouldn't suggest something like this?
