My schnauzer gets pancreatitis. I give my dog boiled chicken,rice and peas and carrots.During the day he gets the science diet food from the vet. In July he had surgery-he had 13 bladder stones-he was in the hospital 10 days. Clinton is doing better-gets his urine checked every month. But as long as the animal has something on his stomach he does good.Good luck. We love out pets.
