My dog has pancreatitis, how do I help?

Answer by  Mary98 (51)

If you suspect your dog has pancreatitis, the best thing you can do is take the dog to an emergency animal hospital or its regular veterinarian. This should be done immediately as this condition is considered life threatening and cannot be treated with home remedies. Most likely, the dog will receive liquids intravenously and carefully monitored.
