anyonee wth any knowledge on pancreatic insufficiency

She is old and as with us humans unfortunately our organs start to fail ....
15 is a really good age for any dog but especially a labrador. ..
As long as she has a quality of life left let her what she wants when she wants it but if nothing is staying inside her stomach she may just get thinner and thinner....

 

As tinytom already said....but I have to ask, did you vet recommend any supplements/products to aid digestion and help to firm her poos?

 

Sadly it sounds like her body isn't able to absorb her food and that's why she isnt holding it in

 

As it not entered your head of calling it a day? 15 is a good age , some vets will and should have this chat with you , sadly other vets keep taking your money .

 

Hi' I'm sorry for your dog, it is miserable when they are not feeling well! Have you spoken with your vet about enzyme support? There must, surely, be something the vet can help with? Sometimes they just look at an animal and make up their minds it is all over! Miserable lot they are! (not a fan of vets for very good reasons!) Have you done your own research on the Internet? There is likely to be a plethera of information I should think! Anyway best of luck, and at the end of the day, if it is the dogs 'time' then help it be the kind decision! Heart goes out to you both! ...............

 

Feel your pain, there’s only so much weight a dog can lose ,

 

I would be very careful giving an old dog with health problems anything without vets advice..

 

My old girl eats what she wants,as done for a number of years now. She's had half a tin of creamed rice pudding for her breakfast,some stew and dumplings just now. She'll have some of her normal food later on. I do feed little but more often, she gets fed four times a day so her stomach doesn't get overloaded. She's over 18 years old now but her weight is constant.

 

Hi, I am NO expert! I have had a quick look and as far as I can tell , it should at the least, do no harm to try. I would, before you charge off and buy them, pick up the phone to your vet and ask if they have any thoughts on them - just to be on the safe side! fingers crossed

 

As much as we at times dislike our vet! Its a vets decision with all the right brain thought to make a decision of that importance on the situation,, which hurts us so much,, I asked my vet a couple of times before I said ok it’s time,, and it was,, different circumstances on issues but both time I agreed and let my two loved ones go,, so ask your vet again , appeal to them , what’s there’s thoughts , listen and make a decision,,
