What to do about pancreatitis in dogs

Dog pancreatitis usually requires hospitalization for infusion treatment. If the vomiting is severe, the dog also needs to be fasted to reduce stimulation of pancreatic secretion. If your dog has open pancreatitis, in which lung fluid enters the abdominal cavity, surgery may be required. During the treatment, the dog must eat and drink within four days of symptoms appearing to avoid stimulating pancreatic secretion. During the period of fasting and water fasting, you can use intravenous infusion of sugar, saline, vitamins, and inosine. When the dog's condition improves, try to feed it some food that is easy to digest and absorb.
1. Treatment method
Clinical treatment of dog pancreatitis is mainly based on comprehensive internal medicine treatment. First, it is necessary to fast and fast to reduce stimulation of pancreatic secretion. Then the dog needs to be rehydrated to replenish energy electrolytes, adjust acid-base balance, maintain pancreatic microcirculation, and also need to use antibiotics to control infection. Secondly, symptomatic treatment is required. When the dog has analgesia and severe abdominal pain, drugs containing meloxicam ingredients need to be used for pain relief. When the dog vomits severely, the dog needs to be injected with antiemetic drugs. If your dog has open pancreatitis, in which fluid from the lungs enters the abdominal cavity, surgery may be needed.
2. Treatment cycle
If the dog has mild pancreatitis and has few complications, it can usually recover in about a week. If the dog has severe pancreatitis and has many complications, the time cannot be estimated.
3. Precautions during treatment
During the treatment of pancreatitis, dogs should not be fed food that is difficult to digest and has high fat content. It is recommended to feed your dog prescription canned and prescription dog food, or other mild, low-fat, easy-to-digest food. During the feeding process, you need to adhere to the principle of eating small amounts and frequent meals.
