I never realized that so many dogs get pancreatitis until my yorkie got it too. I remember very well the day he refused to eat at all and I noticed that his stomach was very bloated. Of course the same day we went to the vet. He examined him, did an ultrasound and immediately diagnosed him with pancreatitis. I still don’t know what the cause of the disease was, we always tried to stick to a proper diet and didn’t give him any fatty foods. My vet says that most likely we just didn’t notice how he ate something, and of course his age – he’s 12 years old – influenced it. He is now healthy and feeling fine, we are on a strict diet, we only give him a brisket of boiled chicken. Good health to your pets!
