My 18 y/o Stripers has been insulin dependent for 12 yrs, has gone thru all the insulins, best response has been from Vetsulin. Thursday he began vomiting, at vet friday morn. He has severe pancreatitis, his glucose is up and he is in kidney failure, 2 wks ago he had a well being physical and his numbers were pretty good for his age and he was feeling well. Spent friday at vet on fluids, came home that night and back yest for another 5 hrs of iv fluids. He is drinking but not eating much which I expect, he is on Benazapril for kidneys, aluminum hydroxide with food, gets 150 ml here at home daily and Cerenia as needed. He is very thin from not eating, I can not find a food that is low fat for the pancreas, low phosphorus,and low carbs. I have been analyzing foods nonstop, I have looked for recipes I can cook and can't find anything to help him. Vet sent him home w Royal Canin Renal and Hills Kidney. They are such garbage with carbs respectively of 27% and 47%. He had 1/4 can of each and no more. He was on Fancy Feast tight regulation but the phosphorus content is very high. Also needs lower protein for the kidneys. Does anyone have a thought re food, Which food would best suit his needs and do no harm?
