Min-Pin will not eat bland diet, has pancriatitus

Question:
My min-pin is home for the weekend after two weeks at the vet for pancriatitus. Take her back twice a day for her meds. But she will not eat the bland diet they told me I have to give her. She will eat maybe a tablespoon a day. So far I have tried turkey, chicken, baked potatoe, pasta and rice. . She will only eat a fews bites a day. Any ideas of something else I could try. No oils and no seasonings.

Answer:
The reason she's not eating really depends on the type and severity of the pancreatitis she has.

If it's a mild form, you might try human baby food - turkey or chicken. This is very easy to digest and most dogs cannot resist it.

Answer:
It was a bad attack. Maybe can try the baby food. I'll check when I take her back for pm meds.

Answer:
OH the poor thing! Pancreatitis is awful and can be triggered by any fatty food.

It's a hit/miss situation with what they'll eat afterwards but they will eat, trust me.

Maybe try the babyfood, it sure sounds like a great idea to me.

How about the water intake what's that like?

Answer:
If the attack was bad, she may be nauseated and painful and not feel like eating.

Maybe the vet can offer some help. Hope she gets better soon!

Answer:
She is still not eating much. likes instant oatmeal, so we are still trying!!!!
