Yeah for Clyde! Is everything going well with the pancreatitis recovery?

Thank You for asking, very sweet of you!

Think it's going as good as expected. Clyde is still on Hills prescription diet, and will be for at least a couple more weeks. He was taken off fish oil, and will always have to have low fat food and treats. He will stay on laser treatments as needed (hopefully monthly), adequan injections, and gabapentin for pain. He is very happy and lights up my life daily with his prancing and smiling!

Now I just need to learn to live in the moment!

Gabapentin is good stuff!...I have been on it for a time now...the dose with your vets advice can be increased... It has helped me quite a bit with neuropathy in my leg...

So happy to hear Clyde is doing well.

I'm so glad everything is going well I know how worried you were. Once I knew pancreatitis was something we needed to keep at the front of the radar, it wasn't terribly hard to manage. In our case, no more Rimadyl, and low fat everything. Truthfully, I found our girl was just as excited about a canned green bean as a treat than she ever was about a piece of cheese or some other treat. I hope everything continues to go well with Clyde and he has lots of bitey-face and easy, pain free moving in his future!

It's been a few weeks since Clyde finished the laser therapy - he probably has a checkup coming soon. I was thinking of him this morning - how's he doing?
