Treatment methods for dog pancreatitis

1. It usually requires hospitalization and intravenous drip treatment. If the dog's vomiting is severe, fasting is required. High-protein and high-fat foods should also be avoided. If it is open pancreatitis (pulmonary fluid entering the abdominal cavity), surgical treatment is required.
2. Food therapy: low-fat, high-protein food should be fed.
3. Symptomatic treatment: People with steatorrhea should supplement pancreatic enzyme preparations and vitamin K, vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin B12, folic acid and tincture. To suppress pancreatic secretion, antacids and antispasmodics are often given.
4. People with diabetes should be treated as diabetes.
Generally speaking, this disease occurs regardless of age and gender, but there are also reports that female dogs that are middle-aged, obese and inactive are prone to this disease. In addition, Schnauzers and Dachshunds are more likely to suffer from pancreatitis. If the pancreas itself is severely necrotic, the dog's mortality rate will be quite high.
