Diet for dog with Pancreas issues / 有胰臟問題的飲食



If you dog had Pancreas issue, such as Pancreatitis or Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI), we do not want to burden their pancreas. Pancreas is responsible for digestion and the enzyme release from pancreas (Lipase) is responsible for digestion.  With less functioning Pancreas, digestion (protein and carbohydrate) is affected especially serve for fat digestion, as fat is harder to digest.  Therefore, dogs that has pancreas issue has to go on a lower fat diet and enzyme should be provided to help with digestion in order.  Here are summary of what should be done: 

如果你的狗曾經有胰臟問題, 如胰炎 或 EPI, 我們要減塹他們胰臟的負擔. 胰臟是負責消化, 從胰腺酶的釋放(脂酶)是負責消化. 與胰有問題會影響消化(蛋白質和碳水化合物)特別是對脂肪的消化, 因消化脂肪是比較複雜.  因此如犬隻有胰問題, 我們要幫肋他消化, 如提供低脂肪飲食和酵素來幫助消化. 這裡應該怎樣做的總結



- Feeding frequenter meals and smaller meals
- Lower fat diet
- Provide natural supplement to strengthen immune system
- Add enzyme to diet (such as Lipase)



- 餵少食多餐
- 餵低脂肪飲食
- 提供天然的補充品幫助加強免疫系統

Ah-B’s Story

愛心收養 贏 不再痛按摩草本洗髮水

大家好,我係阿B呀。呢四年嚟都係生活係繁殖場,頭一年場主待我好好,照顧得我無微不致,我仲成日出寶攞獎,年紀日漸年長,場主對我越來越冷淡,我就好似著左隱形衣, 意就餵下我,唔鍾意時幾日都食唔到一餐,既兄弟姊妹都因為食打到你地我活,我身上過百個牙孔都係咁得返嚟!

呢半年我身體開始轉差,每日都屙嘔不斷,得到既待遇更差 ,場主終於都將我扔出街。

緣巧合下遇到宜家愛我既媽媽,呢兩個月同我一齊作戰,一齊奮鬥。媽媽帶我去睇醫生,證實患上心絲蟲病,要進行針藥治療,但我因為嚴重營養不良同貧血,當時既我只得31, 所以唔能夠即時進行滅蟲療程。

媽媽好用心調理我既腸胃,飲食,但無論飲咩食咩,我都係不受控制咁屙嘔,媽媽經常都喊,好無奈,究竟可以點做。

好艱辛咁增到些徵磅數, 貧血 指數又剛好達標,醫生就即時安排打殺心絲蟲針. 但腸胃問題仍然係纏繞住我,無論食咩都吸收唔到,全部屙返晒出嚟,最後媽媽經朋友介紹搵到位好好既醫生哥哥,發現我應該 係胰臟出現問題,將我既血液寄去英國化驗,原來係我胰臟功能有問題,自身已製造唔到消化酵素,令我完全消化唔到蛋白質同脂肪,宜家一生都要食補充酵素藥物同益生菌。爸 爸媽媽都為左我費盡心機,宜家我好乖乖,就算食素糧+好苦既中藥粉,我都冇扭計,因為幸福得來不易,我要養好身體,同愛我既爸媽,仲有我三位弟妹快樂咁生活!

Rescued a dog and win Sore No More Shampoo

Hello, my name is Ah-B.  For the past four years, I lived in a puppy mill.  When I was a puppy, I was loved by my owner, who owned the mill, and I won many many awards for him. 

However, when I got a bit older, my owner no longer gave me any attention.  Some days I would be given food and there would days no food was made available to us.  Many dogs in the mill became very anxious and to survive we had no choice but to fight over the available food and that was how I got the hundreds of tooth marks on my body. 

For the last 6 months, my health got worst and I started to vomit and having diarrhea on a daily basis.   I thought getting sick mean getting better care, I was so wrong, getting sick mean being treated even worst and eventually the mill owner kicked me out.

Everything happen for a reason …. And, that’s how I met my current family.  For the past 2 months, my mom and I fought together to gain my health back.  The vet confirmed I had heart-worm; however, due to malnutrition and anemia (I weighted only 31 lbs), my heart-worm treatment could not begin until I got better.

My digestive system was so messed up, no matter what I ate, I could not hold.  My mom was very patient even I knew she was very very confused and sad (she was crying often) about my situation.

Finally, my mom was introduced to a different vet and my blood work was sent over to the UK and I was confirmed to have pancreatitis. 

With pancreatitis, I can no longer generate sufficient enzyme to digest any protein and fat and now I rely on enzyme and probiotics supplements to support my digestion.

My parents are very dedicated and patient.  I have been such a good boy, I never complaint about the vegetarian diet and the Chinese medicine that I have to take.  I am very lucky to have such a wonderful family now and I will gain my health back so I can live happily with my parents and my 3 other pals.
