Ryan, do you have a fasting triglyceride result back yet?
I was under the impression the re-test results were not back yet, yes/no?
I’d work with your vet to rule out obvious issues like hypothyroidism or diabetes before jumping to a conclusion that your dog has pancreatic issues.
The same unhealthful high carb diets can stress the pancreas (by causing an unnatural demand on pancreatic amylase) and that can be a factor in dog’s developing pancreatitis. If the dog does have signs of pancreatitis then a high-fat diet would be counter-indicated. It’s a bad cycle.
One thing I think we can all agree on is work with the vet to know what’s actually going on.
