fyjlatch Out For Pancreatitis

( 1F f ;„ TTt’s that time of the year again! Hams,
I roasts, cookies and candy are every-
JL where that you turn. Good thing for you
but not so good for your dog. If you are
B(M IP* one l^e man Y owners £ hat occasionally
■B. I Jfl sneak a little treat to your dog then be es-
JfMM pecially careful when the holidays come
around. One of the many reasons dogs
are hospitalized during the holiday season
junuti ■- j s j- or p ancr eatitis.
One of the ways your dog can get pancreatitis is by ingesting a
diet high in fat. The pancreas is a gland that excretes enzymes to
help in the digestion of the fat that your dog eats. When your dog
eats too much fat the enzymes that their pancreas would normally
excrete can start to activate early in the pancreas and they liter
ally start to digest the pancreas. Holiday foods that can do this are
ham, turkey skin, any form of pork, gravy and desserts that are
high in fat. Because not every owner watches their pets as they
are taking care of Mother Nature they will be unaware when their
pets may h,ave a mild case of pancreatitis. Even animals that have
eaten these foods all their life can be affected by this very unpleas
ant disorder.
Symptoms of pancreatitis include vomiting, diarrhea, and ab
dominal pain. Pancreatitis can be life threatening if not treated
properly. Treatment includes letting the pancreas rest by giving
nothing by mouth and treating with intravenous fluids by your
veterinarian. If not treated, the enzymes can continue to digest
organs surrounding the pancreas. If vomiting and diarrhea are
present then your dog can get dehydrated and have an electrolyte
imbalance that can lead to secondary complications.

The best thing to do is avoid feeding your dog any table scraps.
Dog foods are nutritionally balanced with the ingredients they
need to maintain a healthy life. But we all know we are guilty
for sneaking something to them every once in a while. So if you
must give your dog something this holiday season make sure it is
not high in fat. Healthy foods that are around during the holiday
season are broccoli, green beans and turkey without the skin or fat
on it. Even though these are healthy snacks, they should be given
just as a treat in small amounts.
Have a great and safe holiday season!
