<p>Hello there! I'm sorry to hear your dog is dealing with pancreatitis, but I’m glad you’re seeking information to help them feel better.<br><br><br><br>Pancreatitis in dogs is when the pancreas becomes inflamed. It can be caused by high-fat diets, certain medications, or even underlying conditions like diabetes. Stress and obesity might also be contributing factors.<br><br><br><br>At home, you'll want to ensure your dog has plenty of fresh water available and consider switching to a low-fat diet as recommended by your vet. It’s crucial to avoid giving your dog any table scraps, as these can often be high in fat.<br><br><br><br>Watch for signs like vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain (often shown by a hunched back or reluctance to move), or a loss of appetite. If your dog seems lethargic, has trouble breathing, or their condition worsens, it’s important to seek veterinary care immediately.<br><br><br><br>Bloodwork is essential for diagnosing and managing pancreatitis, often helping to determine the severity and any underlying issues. Regular follow-ups will ensure that your pup is on the right track to recovery.<br><br><br><br>If you'd like more in-depth guidance, consider booking a video consult with a vet on Dial A Vet.
