Young female 18 months old. Many allergies all grains, chicken, turkey And all grasses are the worst but its along list. Had allergy testing and will be going for allergy therapy for the environmental allergens.
New problem . Dog trying to eat grass in order to vomit, this is not good because she is extremely allergic to grass. Had blood test at vets and told to mix her food with mashed potato to calm the pancreas. All fine for a week and then she did a huge vomit.
Back at the vets today for a fasting blood test. Confirmed pancreatitis.
Given the option of in stay on fluids or stay at home and a course of antibiotics just in case there is an infection going on, we opted for the later.
Vet said its a 50/50 split between dogs who have a one off episode and those who have repeated flare ups. I am thinking what in the world can this dog eat?
We are already paying £175 a month in insurance before we even think of her food.
I have been resisting raw feeding upto now because I don’t like the idea and we are not an organised family, we often leave ordering her canned food to the last minute. By that I mean we pay for next day delivery when if we were organised we could order it for 3-5 days delivery and save money. I can see us forgetting to get the food out the freezer in time to be flawed in time. A freezer we would have to buy and put in the garage because we have a tiny kitchen. Now thinking raw feeding is the only way.
Any one got advise or experience of pancreatitis?
