Jackson goes in for a, hopefully, "final" re-check of his bloodwork after this bout of pancreatitis. It's been exactly a week since he was checked into the hospital overnight on IV's, etc.
He's been acting great - totally normal, healthy appetite, drinking water okay, but when we visited on Thursday for a re-check of bloodwork, his lipase levels highered a bit so the vet sent him home with sub-q fluids Thursday, Friday and today (Sunday). I am praying for a good check-up on Tuesday.
In the mean time, he's been eating Purina E/N. I am not very happy about it but it's working for now. I'm just concerned about getting his stomach normal again and getting him better and THEN I will worry more about food.
So in the meantime, I've been researching so that maybe I can show the vet some options I've been looking through and how to deal with his new diet, how to prevent this from happening again, etc.
I know that low-fat is super important.
I am curious of any ideas you have of good quality low fat food for the future? Just throwing ideas out there.
I'm looking into a few of the Natural Balance formulas.
