I have a 9 year old bitch that has a pancreas infection. She spent 6 days in the hospital. She always had allergies to certain foods and I know pretty much what they are. I don't know if that would have anything to do with it. The vet said a change in diet, but she has not had one for over a year when I changed the dry meal she was on. She did start eating fecal matter about 2 weeks ago - thought that was more of a symptom then a cause. She thinks she is starving to death and has gone outside to eat more when I wasn't paying attention:-(. <I have some acreage so no I don't get to pick it ALL up> She does get people food, but that hasn't changed since she was born;) And since it is my people food - that really hasn't changed either. She is on a strict low-residue intestinal formula for two weeks now that she is home. Any other things that could have caused this? What else could I do to make sure it doesn't come back after the two weeks? Thanks in advance for the help. And Happy New Year!
