https://www.vetsurgeon.org/f/clinical-questions/15280/feeding-dogs-with-pancreatitis We seem to have had a run of dogs with pancreatitis recently, and the question of feeding them has come up in discussions. When I first qualified the advice seemed to be that they should be starved for 3 days, we then moved on to offering them low faten-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/88723?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 20 May 2013 12:16:07 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:ce2057bb-d7ce-4175-acc1-181977383346Jenny Smith<p>A cpd I went to mentioned offering lectade to drink, the thought being this would contribute to micro enteral nutrition, and could be used earlier than &#39;normal&#39; feeds as most animals tend to drink before starting to eat.

Obviously pain relief. I always encourage them to eat, usually GI Low Fat or Chappie, I haven&#39;t syringe fed them, but I will do from now!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/88656?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 18 May 2013 18:39:41 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:f0973b04-69be-4c8b-9c0b-5f3053e6685eAndrew Kent<p>Early feeding has been shown in people to reduce length of hospitalisation as you are providing energy to the enterocytes. It is still a good idea to avoid high fat foods though and convalescence diets are usually high fat. So chappie/GI low fat/ ID low fat, if you need something liquid then baby rice is the best as is a good source of glutamine. <p> as others have said aggressive management of nausea (though there are reasons you can argue that metoclopramide is contraindicated in pancreatitis) then feeding tubes if necessary. <p> Andy</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/88654?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 18 May 2013 17:05:01 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:30978f8e-5560-434f-9589-9a3bb0d4b43eStephen Courtney<p>Feed as soon as they are not vomiting. Use antiemetics to effect, cerenia and metoclopromide CRI if need be.</p> <p>Feeding has no effect on the pancreas itself, but is an important part of the recovery process.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
