- www.doghealthpr... - Pancreatitis in dogs is a painful disease that causes vomiting and dehydration. Pancreatitis is essentially inflammation of the pancreas. Sam Meisler DVM, a small animal veterinarian, discusses the symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of dog pancreatitis.
We were just in the vet with this today..she was extremely unwell and I was worried there was something that may cause us to lose her. She's doing better now but no food for 24 hrs and will be on medication and low fat diet for a few days. Hoping she gets back to her happy playful self soon.
Thank you Sam, that was great information and I found it to be reassuring.
Thank you for putting this video together. It was very helpful and comforting to learn what I did through your information.
My dog is at vet now for this reason. Too many table scraps I guess. He did blood work and Taz was dehydrated and prblems with the pancreas. They're doing an IV cath right now to give him fluids and gonna try to give him some bland food in an hour or so. If he does well they'll send him home with some antibiotics and i think he said anti inflam meds. Otherwise he may have to go back tomorrow for more fluids. My poor little guy:(
what about heavy breathing?
excellent video. pathophysiology overview that's succinct but legitimate, good treatment rec. nice.
@KayteeLola I am sorry for your loss, Dr Sam
Our 6 year old dog just died of this a couple hours ago at the vet.It came on in just 2 days.My wife and I can't have kids and she was our baby. We are devastated :(.
My Maltese died from pancreatitis with other complications..He was 13 years old, the pain he was in just was horrible..I'm still very sad and heart broken that my dog had to be put down because this.
We just lost our beloved 12year old Jack Russell,Phoebe, to this awful condition, My huband and I are both medical doctors, and the only symptoms she presented was one bout of vomiting & drinking more water. I was concerned about diabetes and took her into a Veternary Hospital with a Cornell trained vet. Phoebe was in acutet AKA with Acute Pancreatitis. NPO, IV'S, Antibitotics, & surgery, and the love of our life was gone!! She was chasing a dog a day before admit.We are devastated. Pleasehelp
when my dog first had pancreatitis she just about pulled through it, the vet said she would hav to be on a special diet for life, just today shes been diagnosed with pancreatitis AGAIN!! this time its a lot less severe thank god
How did they diagnose it? What tests and maybe xrays?
Thanks, this is very helpful!
my dog has chronic pancreatitis and he is a overweight miniature poodle(who is about 5 years old)when ever he get these attacks he will eat very little if at all.also every time he gets up or lie down he cries.He has never vomit while having an attack.He is currently having an attack today.The first time he was brought to the vet and was diagnosed as Pancreatitis.
That's why it's a good reason not to feed your dogs from the table. I learned this 30 years ago. I feed my little dog from human scraps. He eventually got Pancreatitis. It is very painful. I learned my lesson in time and he lived to a very old age.
You haven’t spoken on so many points
1 in chronic pancreatitis the lipase levels are below normal
2 pancreatitis can occur as a gut manifestation of babesiosis gibsoni infection which is diagnosed late( as in my lab)
3 in chronic pancreatitis enzymes and probiotics and antacids play an important role in recovery
4 it may take months for the pancreas to heal keep giving a bland diet less in amount but more frequently
@Tuffnell1 I hope your Spaniel hangs in there. My own dog had a lipase and amylase through the roof (> 10,000) and pulled through. Every dog is different. Thanks, Dr Sam
Our Pomimo dog of 12 years, Scooter died two weeks ago from this. He had a complication also that they are not sure what happened, but his stomach blew up twice its size. Maybe a ruptured spleen or something. It hurts a lot when a loved pet is lost. Try to never feed your dog foods high in fat. I did this at times, and I feel guilty.
Nice video...
My dachshound barely made it last christmas, was vomiting for 2 days then had dehidratation and almost no energy and was sleeping outside the house on the 2nd night in a very cold weather then i took him to the veterinary , now i have to feed him with gastro-intestinal low fat food from royal canin only (no more bones or chiken or enything else) now he is doing ok.
cont: Bloody, gel-like stool is a common symptom of pancreatitis.Parvo and intestinal parasites can cause this too, but if you've already ruled those out, this could possibly be the problem. The pancreas breaks down fats in the body, and when the amount of fatty foods consumed is more than the pancreas can handle, it slows down/shuts down and can ultimately cause death, if the case is severe enough
And what if the Dog does'nt want to eat and Drink he is on treatment now almost 2 weeks?
Thanks Dr..
Thanks for your posting. I have two half siblings, both with chronic pancreatitis. One is an in-tact male that is being considered for breeding. Is there any info available out there on the heritibility of this condition?
my dog had this a few years back its very scary. I ended up taking him to the vet twice a day for IV fluid for a week. Ive also had to work hard since to make sure his diet doesn't hurt him so only food from the vet and NO MORE TABLE SCRAPS
does anyone know any good snacks i could give him such. My vet said regular cheerios are ok and to limit the size of his meals
@elovett36 Thank you for you very nice comment, Dr Sam.
My dog got diagnosed from this. Has anyone's dog experienced head tremors ??
Pancreatitis occurs often when they are fed fatty, poor quality foods, such as hot dogs, lunch meats, chips, etc. Basically any greasy, fatty food can cause this problem. Therefore, it is VERY important to NOT feed your dogs "people" food! (cont below)
bluepeas510 I have to disagree with you in my dogs case. She’s been feed Science Diet for eight years and is a yorkie. I believe that some dogs are predisposed. I have no real sources to back it up though. She’s sick with pancreatitis and getting worse.
My dog is on a strict chicken and rice only diet but she got some bacon and now is in the throws of pancreatitis AGAIN! :( Horrible.
Our dog is a Rat Terrier his Pancreatic attacks started with his thyroid had a problem causing his triglycerides to be 1000 this in turn made his pancreas painful he only gets terrible pain. He crys and runs around in circles rolling on the ground. It's terrify to watch we have him on thyroid pills and WD diet food. Last week he ate an asparagus stalk that was cooked and it set off the worst attack we ever saw. Our regular vet tried some pain killers but it didn't work.
Thank you for this information video. My dog was just diagnosed with Pancreatitis after getting into the garbage and eating a whole package of bologna. What diet do you recommend to help heal and prevent another attack?
If anyone is watching this video in 2019 PLEASE help! This is the second time this year I've had my dog to the vet because of her symptoms of pancreatitis. She is in terrible shape right now because she also has epilepsy and she won't take her phenobarbital orally. Her last dose was Wednesday morning and it's Friday night now. Is it possible to give her the phenobarb and other meds anally since she won't take orally plus it will cause more discomfort to her pancreas. ??? TYIA
Hello, I am a Veterinary Technician so I have some experience with this, your best bet instead of the internet is to call your veterinarian directly as they are the ones who prescribed it to you. As you were probably informed, this isn't a medication you want to miss doses on when dealing with epilepsy. I'm not sure how you normally administer your pet oral medications, but with help it is possible with two people and the right technique, unless otherwise advised from a professional you should always medicate the exact way of your instructions!
use magnesium for epilepsy
Then our emerancy vet used some anti nausea injections and a pepced injection this worked in about 30 minutes. I was amazed how good it worked much better then just torbutrol which we have used before, or this time our normal vet gave use Buprenorphine .3cc under the tongue liquid.
Took my dog to the pet hospital for this and i may be spending almost or even over a thousand dollars, is this a normal price or did i just get scammed?
I spent 1400 2 days ago......
Just spent 1500 today
$2200 in Chicago
Joao Valdez I’ve paid over a thousand at her regular veterinarian. Not to mention the prescription food she’ll be on for the rest of her life that is outrageously expensive. I don’t think you got ripped off.
I had prescription food for my dog and that's what caused the pancreatitis
If your dog has an attack like this talk to them about this anti Nausea injection and Pepced she said the anti Nausea stuff takes the swelling down in the area.
My dog has just been diagnosed with diabetes and pancreatitus. She has been in the hospital for a week. She is definitely not in pain and yet they say she has very high levels and increasing levels of those, lipase and amylase. They are going to try to give her some plasma.
My dog bobby has this he's a Scottish terrier and the vet says he might not make it to Christmas
Sorry your dog is so sick, but if he's still alive do what Mike Peterson suggested below. His post saved my 9 yr old poodle. GastroElm and a low fat diet really worked for Zoey!
Also I should mention that at one time he had to take meds. with steroids because of his allergies(he was always scratching licking his paws)but then the vet found one with less steroids(but he hasn't gotten any smaller) and he also has an ear infection all the time which look like blackish earwax and smells like rotten cheese(which i have meds for).So what should i do with him?(he has alot of problems)
this is not necessarily true. predisposition
I fed my min pin a dog bowl of roast beef w/ potatoes and the next day he had the runs then jelly blood came out his butt and he just laid there, He didnt even jump up to bar at the cats like he always does ..I googled it and this is what I came up w/ (my original post) plus I watched your video
i was just told my dog has this. she eats 2 cups of diet food a day. i dont get what happend
Reallynow84 the prescription food is 70.% water. My little dog acts like she’s starving to death.

My shepherd has pancreatitis what would you recommend for a dry dog food?
german shepard my vet said I could start Hillside dry eventually. It is outrageously expensive and does require a prescription.
Royal Canin Gastrointestinal dry food!
Had it and it caused pancreatitis
I'm considering buying a jack Russell puppy, it so happens that the father of the puppy had to be put down due to pancreatitis. Should I be concerned about the puppy developing this in the future?
Dogs which are fed a species appropriate diet that is meat based do NOT generally run into this problem. It is really all about diet. Dry kibble diets are the culprit, with their heavy carbohydrate load - completely inappropriate for the carnivorous canine.
My boi wolfie just died because of this i think from eating greasy chicken :( R.I.P WOLFIE
We are medicating our dog for this but she has greasy diarrhea and lost all fat on her body. Very gassy and never vomits. She is skin and bones but has big appetite. 6 months this way. First round of pancreatic medicine really did nothing. I fear her death. Yet the doc hasn't mentioned that...
Scott Legrand sounds like my dog.
what happened
Does dog stomach make noise when they have this?
Yes, my Chihuahua has horrible borborygmi (intestinal noises) just prior to a pancreatic attack
My dog did.
My dog has pancreatitis is looks like he is going to die.
my dog is dying of it :,,( the vet thinks she wont make it :(
my dog died from pancreatic atrophy which the doctor couldn't find. we were visiting the vet clinic for 2 weeks until she past away yesterday 16th of March when i had to let her stay in the clinic because she was dehydrated from diarrhoea she also kept losing weight . Was there a way i could have saved her? They made all blood tests and abdominal x-ray and everything was clean. Is it possible that they couldn't diagnose the problem?
Nick Sergiou The vet should have performed a ultra sound not an xray.
thank you my friend...i hope i can save more dogs with your advise!!
I think my dog died of this today.
Oh, we had an explosion alright.
