My rat terrier/mystery dog was at the vets for the last 2 days with mild pancreatitis . They said it was caused by the antibiotics he was taking from the kidney/bladder infection he had about 2 1/2 weeks ago. He is home now they sent 3 cans low fat
It is unlikely that the pancreatitis is caused by antibiotics, but we can give you more specific informations if you tell us the name of the antibiotic. Reglan is a an anti-emetic drug which will prevent any further vomiting episode and possibly promote gastrointestinal (first tract) motility. This is a common medication to give. It would be best to keep him on low fat diet (Chappie would be a good commercial diet for this purpose) for a but longer (at least two weeks after all the signs are resolved). Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further. Please find the time to give us a feedback about the consultation as that will be used to improve our service.

My dog has been diagnosed with pancreatitis her belly is bloated and does not want to eat by herself, but still drinks water and goes pee. She had the attack last week. Is there any chance she will pull thru? I'm taking her to my vet to put IV fluids
Carpeofen is not recommended with pancreatitis as it can make the condition worse, in some severe cases steroids can be prescribed. i would recommend adding a few medications to what she is getting: Cerenia, Famotidine, Omeprazole. these 3 can help significantly. i would also recommend switching from Amoxicillin to Metronidazole. she of course needs to be on a special prescription low fat diet such as Royal Canin gastrointestinal low fat.

I just read that cats with pancreatitis need low fat foods, how would I go about finding them? (i,e, what should I look for on the labels)? Or does it have to be a prescription diet?
Pancreatitis can be challenging in kitties as it can be more difficult to diagnose then in dogs, be more "quiet" in its presentation, can cause sudden, more severe signs and also chronic, more mild signs, and is often a secondary condition due to another underlying disease process such as gastrointestinal disease. Often prescription diets are better for animals with chronic disease as they have better quality control. And the diet selected is often based on what is thought to be causing the pancreatitis (hypoallergenic vs new protein/carb sources vs low fat, etc.). With kitties it can sometimes take some diet trial to see what the individual cat likes. Some of the pet food companies (science diet for sure) will offer a free trial prescription diet through your veterinarian for a prescription food. Meaning you can get a free bag or free cans to try. Also most of these companies will allow the food to be returned if the cat doesn't like it. So it might be a good idea to check into this

Angel, 14 year old + my cat, hAs been diagnosed with pancreatitis. Rx budnesodide and ondansatron. Still losing weight, vomiting some, good appetite, loose smelly stools. Please tell me about digestive enzyme product.
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! I am sorry that Angel has been so sick! Usually the need for pancreatic enzyme supplementation is based on blood work. Usually the TLI (a pancreatic enzyme) is low. Pancreatic enzyme are used to treat exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. Which can result from chronic pancreatitis as can Diabetes. Use in dogs and cats is considered off label, so you would have to discuss the use in Angel with a Vet that has examined her. Cats reportedly hate the taste but may accept the powder if mixed with fish/tuna oil and then thoroughly mixed with a canned food. If using solid dosage forms (enteric-coated tablets or compounded capsules made from powder or crushed tablets) be certain that immediately after dosing, water or food is consumed to reduce the risk for esophageal damage. You may also want to consider a probiotic, like Purina Fortiflora. I hope this helps and I wish you and Angel the best!

what can i give my cat for mild pancreatitis? My vet wants to give him pepcid ac and another medicine that starts with a "C" not sure of the name I haven't picked it up from vet yet. He is very difficult to take medicine even the vet had a hard time.
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Poor Buddy! The medication is likely cerenia, which is an anti-nausea medication. Unfortunately there are pills or liquid formulations of medication. Cerenia and pepcid come in injectable form. The Vet can give the first dose and maybe get the pepcid and cerenia compounded in to a liquid form. If you think you can squirt liquid medications in him then I would ask to get that form. Or consider hospitalizing for injectables. I hope this helps and i wish Buddy a speedy recovery!
