Hi Susan,
Thanks for responding. I’m giving the Tylosin in capsules. I know it tastes awful – I don’t let her taste it!
Talked to the vet yesterday. She said that even tho salmon might be higher in fat, it’s bioavailable fat that gets absorbed almost immediately in the stomach and therefore doesn’t make the pancreas work hard. The worst meat for a dog w/ pancreatitis is pork, followed by beef. Lots of saturated fat in those. She also recommended krill oil as a supplement – for the omega-3’s and to help her skin.
If anyone else has any other ideas I’m all ears. Lucie has gained a bit of weight back but she needs to gain more.
Thanks!!
Sarah
