News — pancreatitis in dogs

Our first experience with pancreatitis was when our toy poodle, Angel, woke up sick one morning.  Her stomach was extremely noisy, she was uncomfortable and we weren’t sure what to do for her.  Since she was young she had always been a finicky eater in the morning and would throw up bile if she didn’t eat breakfast.  I guess these might have been warning signs.  We had tried all kinds of different dog foods but nothing appealed to her.  On this day, however, things were much more extreme.  By early afternoon she was thowing up and it was obvious that...

Wow! I don’t know why I waited so long to try this on my pancreatic corgi! Loki just turned 11 on August 6, 2019. He was diagnosed with Diabetes and Pancreatitis on December 26, 2017.

I’ll never forget the day that our toy poodle, Angel, was struck down by acute pancreatitis when she had just turned seven years old. She became so violently ill that we thought we were going to lose her. With blood coming out of both ends, our vet at the time, did nothing to coat her stomach or intestines.  Due to her small size (6 1/2 lbs) she ended up spending two nights in the hospital and needing a blood transfusion in order to survive. Since then I’ve gained as much knowledge as possible from both holistic and non-holistic vets. I’ve...
