It would be so nice if veterinarian's would even try to help a person who can't afford all the vet bills to have another option? I have NEVER found one who cares enough that they are going to sacrifice their pocketbook So sad! Dr Jones is a hero! I wish there were more like you! God bless you 🙏
@Pamel Sowards: Yeah, I have a sick dog right now and the jerk didn’t want to do anything because I didn’t have the money for that insanely high bill, so he tells me I can put him down. I am NOT putting my dog down when he can be treated and cured. That jerk is horrible. I am going to call around tomorrow and see if someone will let me get the fluids and do it that way. Right now the only thing I had to force out of that useless vet was that I can give him pedialyte (4 cups per day). SMH Some of these jerks are just in it for the money. I am so thankful this guy posted this video. I wish he was in my area!!! I’d take my dog to him in a heartbeat
@@sisterspooky I hate when vets will not even give you advice. I understand making a profit, but there should also be a love of animals. There are some good vets here in Mississippi.
@@ginamussic4964 - I wholeheartedly agree!!!!!! Like you, I completely understand they need to make a living. I don’t begrudge them for that, but when a situation is dire, I believe they should have compassion for the animal and try to do (even a minimal amount of effort) and simply tell the person what they can do to help the situation. They don’t… it’s all about the $$$$$. Most people in 2023 just suck!!! So happy to have encountered a like-minded individual like you! Take care of yourself. All the best! 😊
You have made me feel so much better after spending so much money at the vet today. My dog was still getting sick and they never told me to not feed her right now. Now I know!
The vet did the same to me today. They told me to feed her protein food. I did get the IV fluids, Proviable, Cerenia for vomiting, Entyce to get her to eat, Metronidazole and Sulfasalazine for the diarrhea.
Hi Dr. Andrew Jones Im a vet tech student and I just wanted to let you know that i really like your videos. Your videos have been helping me to clarify a lot of my vet tech questions. Thank you :)
Just spent $2,050 on recovering my 16 year old cat from pancreatitis. All they did was keep him overnight once, give IV fluids, ultrasound, blood panel and urinalysis. Now I'm giving him Ceneria, Gabapentin and Amoxicillin (he also has a UTI). He is doing okay eating and I hope to get a few more years with him. But, emergency vet care now is highway robbery. I don't get it, honestly.
I hear you . You can actually ask for Sub Q fluids and give kitty fluids at home . My cat was in kidney failure at 14 ,and Dr Andrew Jones recommended Grain Free High protein/ 83% + moisture. I bought collidial silver, (pepsid, really helped ) she had a lump in her urethra area ,and I filled a Rubbermaid container and let it go warm and added 1 cup of ACVINEGAR. I put her in tub after she went to bathroom, and I massaged the area. Leaving the b room door open as I put bin in tub . I began to feel this sand empty into my hand and the lump was gone . She began to get sick ,and I asked Dr Jones,he has a video on when you know it’s time . She slept with me every night. That day I knew. However she was 21 + 6 months. She lived an excellent quality of life because of this Dr right here . She died in my arms July 23 rd at 10:30 am . It was really hard ,but she was due to be out down at 3 on that day. So trust your gut. My light that’s never worked our recessed lights blinking non stop for 2 months. So now because of this Dr and the time I had , I can honestly say regardless of how hard her death was to me ,it was an honour and a privilege to be her momma. ❤️ I’m in Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 and he’s saved me thousands of dollars. I hope your kitty is ok. Epakitin orange lid oral powder works amazing for kidneys,but once open keep it in fridge ok . Worth every single penny. I’ve recently heard that fishmox on Amazon is exactly the same thing as amoxicillin. Many people take it . Vets are extremely outrageous, I found my baby because someone threw her out on the side of the road with her siblings. She was the only survivor. At 2 am getting hay , what are the chances? ❤️ Michele.
Vets nowadays won't even give options for dogs that have bone cancer. They don't want to risk their license? Cowards that let animals suffer. All they want is money.
@@freespiritwithnature4384 i am so sorry for your cat. I bought a book on Amazon called wet noses at the pearly gates. To read when the time comes for my Furbaby/ dog of 13 years and 4 months, he's been dealing with heart problems since 8 years and 15 months ago he tore his back knee, which I was not putting him under a 3 hour anesthesia for surgery, plus I didn't have over $5000 The veterinarian had him on a strong anti inflammatory drug and he had already had a sensitive stomach so this caused him bloody diarrhea and vomiting blood. I found a new veterinarian who immediately took him off it but had to keep him overnight and give fluids so I have had him on pepcid and cerenia plus a slurry for over a year. And I have easily spent $10,000. 3000 since Christmas. Now he just got diagnosed with beginning stages of Kidney disease. The veterinarian of course put him on the Kibble for Kidney disease and canned food, which he won't eat anyway I always fed my baby human grade food and cooked chicken also. Now I had been cooking him Dr Jones diet for digestive issues but tweeking it with less protein because that's what all vets say. Until I started researching it. I found they need protein still. Where you say Dr Jones had yours on grainfree and 83% protein what exactly did you mean by that? Abd also tge Epakitin is that for just cats or also for dogs. My veterinarian now I do like but they all act like we have a non ending supply of money, which I can't do anymore big vet bills. She said she didn't think it would be Kidney disease that would take his life anyway. This is so hard.😪 It's why I spend everything I have to comfort him. If you have time to answer my questions I would appreciate it. Thank you.
@@freespiritwithnature4384 is it really that easy to get Sub Q fluids from a vet? What do they charge ? I figured they would give folks a hard time since they want you to bring them in
Emergency vets want the big bucks. They aren’t in it to help pets in the all day grind of a regular practice. When I go to the emergency vet I can always hear them in the next room quoting a starting price of 2000.00. I always tell them I don’t have it. I say start with the most essential item first. The last time they started with a quote of 1500 and when we left I paid 700.00. Just tell them, you don’t have it, start with most essential and see if we can save the pet for less.
So helpful! Thank you for helping to teach people who can't afford vet treatments to be able to do something for their dogs. It's sad that most veterinarians will not tell people these things.
It's not just about the price, but for my dog, the trauma of being left in a strange place without me was horrible. He barked so much that he became hoarse on top of the physical pain he was in. It was horrible.
My dog is suffering from the same thing rn, my neighbors dog literally died from this disease about a week ago. I pray to god that my dog doesn’t have the same outcome. The vet said that the bill is 700, with the times were in rn my parents don’t have that type of money laying around
Omg I am experiencing the same issue with my chihuahua since last month now she is completely not eating and I’ve taken her to the vet twice and her meds help for a week she stop vomiting but now it started again and she is not eating food but she is drinking water.
@@lilmea12wondering if I’m dealing with this now too. I was away from my chihuahua to have surgery and she quit eating well. Thought it was stress related. She was eating different foods by hand. Not her regular stuff. Now stomach making noises seems ok drinking water but won’t eat nothing.
My "grandson" Bear, a 34 kg Great Pyrenees was just diagnosed with Pancreatitis. 1500$ dollars later...yikes. I will definitely be employing these recommendations. Thank you Dr 😊💓
Thank you for caring enough for all animals. These videos you share with us are an example of you care more for the animal than you do the money you could bring in at the clinic. I have 3 miniature schnauzers and have ran into situations that if I carried them immediately to the vet for - I wouldn’t be able to own them. I’m blessed to have made it through challenging times with them through help of veterinarian friends/ our vet Dr./ and videos that are from professionals. Thank you friend
thank you for giving me some tips, i took him to the vet and they gave him some fluid and special food. but it was very nice to get some extra tips and facts on how to make him feel better.
Thank you so much for this video. I think that you are so kind in helping us help our Furr babies without breaking our banks. You tips are wonderful. Can you ask a vet for a fluid bag for us to give our dogs at home? Usually they want to do things theirselves. Just asking.
hello dr, my dog (56 pounds) hasn’t eaten in 4 days and likely has pancreatitis, we’ve been to the vet and just the check up and anti nausea meds where $200. I think he hasn’t thrown up in over a day and started to drink regularly, ate grass, but refuses all food including boiled chicken. I’ll probably have to go back so he doesn’t starve to death but is there a way to keep his nutrition up while he recovers? How to know if the case is severe or mild? I’m dreading the overnight bill
Youre great. Wish you were closer ! I appreciate this video since I have had to care for my boxer with pancreatitis at home (when hospital was required).
Hello Dr Jones and thank you for your video. I have a Golden Doodle, she is 3 years old. She has always had a problem of being sick bile, maybe once a week or once every two weeks. 10 days ago this turned into a really bad vomiting episode (only first thing in the morning) Following day she was sick blood. I took her straight to vet they gave her anti acid and blood tests and anti sickness. Two days later vomiting blood again, went back and he suspected pancreatitis so took a special blood test. The next day she was worse than ever and was sick just blood about 5 times. She went in for a general anaesthetic, scans and xrays but still nothing to conclude what it was. She has stopped being sick for the last two days, yesterday I had a call to say the pancreas test showed her levels were off the scale and pancreatitis was the cause. She is on a bland low fat diet but is not interested in eating, especially in the mornings, she dont eat until mid afternoon. Is there anything you can suggest to try and get her to take food earlier? Thank you, Sonia x
Thanks for your fantastic videos Dr Jones they are informative and you ALWAYS underline to see a vet wherever possible. This video has been extremely helpful to me and my dog today as I can't get to a vet. Just one question- if I can't get hold of a saline bag how else can I make sure my dog receives water please?
Hi Dr. Jones, thank you so much for all you share with pet parents. My Vet did a blood work on my 15 year old Yorkie(10lbs), Gizmo. He said his liver and pancreas have slightly elevated enzymes. I have to bring in a urine sample to further investigate what's happening in those areas. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again 💞
@@chrissygreig2277 , thank you. His results came back he is well. Sadly, I have an appt for Sept 19 to have his remaining teeth extracted. To much decay. Shame on me😔
Thank you so much for helping all of our pet babies...you are paying it forward for others! and it will come back to you one day! You are a GOD send!!❤❤❤
My dog lost significant amount of weight and had labored breathing from the nose. Mouth closed, just breathing in and out of the nose rapidly. She also vomited a lot periodically and had wet brown diarrhea persistently. I brought her to the vet and vet found through tests she had pancreatitis. He said she was at 400 something which is very abnormal from the 200 level. They put the IV Fluid in her just like you did, but also provided a bunch of medications as well as high caloric, low fat diet food. He said it was possible she's been eating table scraps which caused that issue and to stop it immediately. I am guilty of this and never will give her human food ever again.
Honestly you are amazing.❤ Thank you for this information and all the info you put out there. My dog is a 12 year old cane corso/presa who loves to eat geese poop. 🤦🏼♀️ it causes him to have an upset stomach with diarrhea, gas and he threw up once. This is the second time it has happened. It breaks my heart to see him struggling. He seems to be stable and starting to have a better stool not so runny. I definitely won’t take him to that park again. It’s very hard to take him to the vets as he has fear aggression and will bite. He wears a muzzle but the stress he is under is awful. He will pee if he is touched by the vets and they are afraid of him so it’s very hard on everyone involved. He’s such a powerful breed and 120lbs. I don’t like to put him on the meds to calm him for the visit cause honestly it doesn’t work and makes him more angry. So I try my best to do it at home and keep him comfortable. Thank you for all your info it has helped me and my Lokai immensely. The last time I saw the vet he was surprised he was still around and doing so well. Hopefully I can clear this up on my own and avoid the vets. Again thank you for the content you put out. It’s so appreciated. ❤
Thank you, my Doberman "the velcro dog" wouldn't fair well being hospitalised like the vets wanted to today, going into the vets without me due to the covid situation was bad enough for him, I paid for blood tests and anti nausea meds and luckily the animal hospital could do a 30 min blood test, so now I have the diagnosis I can follow some of your advice. They were talking £800-1300 for everything with hospitalisation even though he is now brighter eyed, I guess stats below a certain amount they just say keep them in, he is already keeping food and water down after 24 hours, much more perky too so fingers crossed.
Thank you so much for your video. My dog suffers from chronic pancreatitis which he didn't get until age 12. I've been wanting to treat at home as much as possible with EO, etc but I'm not getting support from my Vet for that. Will be definitely trying this.
Thank you, we are going to try this as the last bill was $615 for a 3 day stay at our vet and we just can't afford that! I am a little worried about the sub q fluids but I think we can do it!
Just spent $900 for 2 exams, injections, one half day hospital stay, IV fluids and medications in california. Still not out of the woods but hopeful she looks better today
Thank you Dr. Jones for all you do for us and the animals. With the prices skyrocketing for everything not just Vet costs, this video is much appreciated. I will be making a homemade diet today. To help her get back to eating. Please do a video on essential oils. Essential oils is like a medicine cabinet for us humans, why not dogs. Will be looking for ward to more of your videos.
Many essential oils are toxic for dogs and cats. Good to be very cautious about using any treatments to animals without knowing the effect they may have.
I’m SO glad I found you video!! I will definitely be using the essential oil for my dogs pain. For the fluid IV, how long do I have to do that for? Until my dog drinks water normally again or will I have to do it occasionally for the rest of her life?
I have a Yorkie that has had multiple episodes of pancreatitis. On occasion he needs IV fluids, I am a nurse and I have asked to have IV fluids so I can treat at home. I have not been able to find a vet that will prescribe fluids so I can give at home. What would be your recommendation to overcome this issue.
I went to 2 vets, neither gave me the option or info about giving my dog through skin ringers to keep hydrated, they preferred to give profit priority over giving options for at home care
Thank you for this! Just found out my 16 yr old pug’s pancreatitis levels are at 350. Have been making his dog food at home since finding out out about his high liver - kidney enzyme levels (above 2k) this past week. Is it ok to keep making his food at home once he recovers or is a prescription dog food better in your opinion? I did see your other video about you giving kibble and home cooked food 2x week. Do you have any diet recommendations for me moving forward? I don’t mind cooking every week just wanna make sure it’s balanced enough. Thank you again for all you do!
Hi there, I'm glad to hear that you find the information I share helpful and valuable, yes better to make it balance till he recovers. I do have other remedies on my books and try to check it out, you can give em supplements as well. :) You can check out my books for tips at: Website: veterinarysecrets.com/ Amazon: www.amazon.com/Veterinary-Secrets-Natural-Health-Dogs/dp/1494928140
My cat was diagnosed with pancreatits last year. He has been hospitalized for few days. Once at home, high quality food with lowest fat max 5%, no sugar. I added also digestion enzymes in his food. He is doing well now. Btw a cat should eat, you can’t wait 24 hours with a cat.
@@VeterinarySecrets Thank you! My coonhound is much better after 48 hours without oral food/water. Vet was off the day it hit and this saved me lots of $.
i'm struggling with treating my dog who i suspect has pancreatitis (the veterinarian won't call me back). this helps so much and i will attempt to follow your tips tomorrow. hopefully i can get the supplies during my state's lockdown. also... i've had chronic migraines since i was 6 years old. the cold sensation peppermint eo gives relief by distracting me from the pain. i would lay on a cold kitchen/bathroom floor and use wet clothes when i was younger but peppermint eo is by and large way more effective. i put it on my temples and/or whatever side of my head the migraine is targeting. i would also recommend it for people who are struggling with hot weather. back of the neck, chest, shoulders... really. it helps.
I cured my pomeranians pancreatic issue with 3 table spoons plain yogurt, 1/2 teaspoon organic honey, 3fresh blackberries 4fresh raspberries 6fresh blueberries, and 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder. Mixed n mash, I had to force feed him. He wasn't eating because of the belly pain. Btw he was not eating, kinda pulled into the corner for 2 days. I had enough n called the vet she said it'll be 3-6k for treatment. So I did my research overnight n wala! After giving him this concoction he was up n running around after only 20min my eyes couldn't believe what I was seeing. I Also give this mix if I take my dogs outdoors n they drink river or pond water this will keep them protected, from intestinal infections and parasites. I imagine this will work for humans also? Cucumber is another good snack for dogs it's Anti-inflammatory. For killing worms n infestations I give my dogs 4 tablespoons plain yogurt 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley. Mix n mash n no infestation or intastional problems. Do it 1every 10 days or at least once a month. 😎 I feed the yogurt, garlic, parsley mix to my puppies n I dont have to deal with worms n my puppies are so healthy.
thank you!!!!! I will definitely get those ingredients. She already resorted to laying upstairs all by herself in the closest. Week 3 doing that. I have been trying to feed her plain yogurt and natural peanut butter dog treats but she dont eat them. I freeze them in my bone molds, just no appetite.
I have just tried the this recommendation on my greyhound with reoccurring pancreatitis but didn't have fresh raspberries or blackberries so bought frozen ones and blended it in nutribullet. Can't believe the difference in about an hour! He even went for a walk and started running!I hope this will keep on working.
@@amers2851 Why is it toxic? The garlic? I have read that garlic and onions are poisonous to dogs. I'd like for Lord to reference where he got this recipe so I can do the same research? Thanks !
My dog likely has this. My vet wanted to keep my dog foot fluids and i told them i couldn't afford it. They didn't even offer to sell me the iv fluids. Now i know to demand they sell them.
great viedo i learn a lot, my dog coker spaniel has just developed pancreatits and diabetic . i will use frankincense oil and black seed oil (nigella sativa) in order to control blood sugar and pancreas imflammation thanks
Dr. Jones and fellow pet lovers! I have a predominately looking cocker spaniel 2 1/2 y o male and I live in Acapulco MX w my hispanic husband.I am finding it hard to navigate how to find a holistic vet and more than likely if I did my husband would find the price to high and wouldn't return. My husband is part of the problem. He was diagnosed ultimately with canine hepatitis. First let me explain that we either have country vets or city vets. We have gone to both. The country vets use their skills to identify what they know exist here. The city vets use their labs. We did do simple blood work and it showed everything in normal range. The much needed diagnostic test was like $55 USD or $1000 MXP which my husband didn't want to pay for. I believe this problem started in March after my female dogs last heat. She wants nothing to do with him and gets quite aggressive when he pesters her. She is a mix of maybe husky/pit bull. She has blue eyes and short hair. He left all his food for her to eat, which, the country Dr said, it could have caused his deterioration which has led to his current problem. Now after many visits to vets and force feeding of medication and supplements he has gone into his quiet space. He no longer wants to get too close to us, can you blame him? He is drinking water and I give him a little bit of honey in the morning. He seems very content and in no pain. He will chase after squirrels. Any thoughts? Thank you very much. I also like that I can put your words in Spanish for what its worth.
Do you have a video on how to tell if your dog has developed a food allergy? I changed my Corgis to a raw, dehydrated food that I add water to to Re-hydrate it. They recently started scratching this past week, after being on the food for a month now. I started adding 1/4 tsp of organic coconut oil to their food in hopes of helping with dry skin.
try Solid Gold sensitive leaping waters. it's done amazing things to heal my Bernese Mountain Dog's allergies Skin and Stomach!!!! I'm amazed!!!! He weighs 130+# and it's totally worth. autoship at Chewy.com makes it quite affordable for me and he gets half a can of tripett green tripe a day.
This will help when I get my dog back from the vet, hopefully today. 3rd day he's been there. If they let him go home today, my total bill should be under $2k. He's 14 and very lucky I'm in a point in my life that I could afford to to go to the vet. At 14, it's hard, I don't want him living in pain but he was fine ('ish, his hearing is going, he has cataracts, tracheal collapse, he's old). He was attacked 2nd time this year by a pit bull, who didn't want to kill him but just didn't want to stop chomping on the back of his neck. It was horrible, I'm still traumatized. I read injury, trauma and shock could affect/trigger pancreatitis too, maybe I'm just reaching. Anyhow I'm glad I took him in, he stopped eating for over a week. I was trying to get him to eat anything, chicken, steak, hamburger, etc. I was going thru the fridge, trying everything to see if he eat. The last thing he ate was a piece of bologna (I was desperate). Then he stopped completely, and I took him in. I'm waiting to hear from the vet's office today, hopefully I get to take him home.
Here’s some advice if your dog is experiencing pancreatitis! DO NOT give your dog any food or water for at least 12-24 hrs! When you do introduce food, try switching to a raw diet, I recommend Primal freeze dried or frozen food. Before feeding add Herbsmiths Microflora supplement, it has probiotics, prebiotics, digestive enzymes, and herbs that helps your dog absorb food the way it should! Try that and stick with it and see how things go. I say this because this is what worked for me and after switching to raw, my dog has never been more healthy! I was told she had only two weeks to live so I was desperate, looking for any way that would help her get better and live longer. After doing a ton if research no thanks to the vet, I made the switch with nothing to lose and luckily had everything to gain! I strongly suggest you do your research and try to make the switch to raw, you won’t regret it!
Was your dog not eating?y vet said enlarged liver and inflammation in his lungs based on xrays. He took a cortisone shot (plus other treatments earlier for ecoli) and after that shot he started eating a ton for a little over 2 weeks and bam! Yesterday just went back to before. Now they are treating for pancreatitis but he hasn’t eaten anything since 11pm the day before yesterday. He’s in pain and poop back to runny.
nathan vollmer if you’re dog is still experiencing issues, let me know! I can help! My dog hasn’t been to to vet ever since my post because she’s been super healthy
My chihuahua been in raw for 3 years and she was doing super, but about few months ago i seen some problems and they where on and off, today she was diagnosed with pancreatitis. I don't know what yo do.
@@daureenbond don’t give her any food with fat in it, avoid human food as much as possible, that includes snacks as well! If she’s still got pancreatitis you gotta fast her from food and water for 24 hrs, then start to introduce light food like chicken breast and rice or if you have raw then give her small amounts of that
@@mik2dae143 when i came from the vet today i gave her food, but i am going to stop for 24hr, i can believe this because she has been in raw and she was doing great and know her pancreas is bad. Am looking for a diet that i could give her because am afraid to give her the raw.
My little toy fox terrier will be 17 in 2 days. She just got home after 3 days hospitalization with a diagnosis of Chronic Kidney Disease, CKD, stage 3 they’re guessing at and Hemorrhagic Diarrhea. While in hospital is when they seen blood and possible partial intestines in her stool. That didn’t happen at home, her diarrhea was just watery, almost clear so we got her there just in time. I’m praying Tinker makes it to her birthday 8/17/04 and much longer. The ER Vet bill came to $3300.00 and it’s not over bc of follow up bloodwork and tests. I’m leaning towards more natural homeopathic treatments. God put everything we all need on this earth for a reason. Not for big tech pharma to make $$$
Lewis is an amazingly chilled dog, bless him! And Dr Jones you are one amazing vet to share this info with us all. Just like big pharma for humans they want us giving our dogs drugs instead of natural remedies! Thank you SO much!
Been trying to figure out what my dog has for months now. Xrays showed enlarged liver and inflammation in lungs. They tested urine and found ecoli. So then they gave antibiotics and anti inflammatory. I saw a difference right after the anti inflammatory but then he pooped black tar for a couple days. They said maybe ulcer. Quit those meds and continued a different antibiotic. He still wasn’t eating so we tested urine and it said it was clear. stopped antibiotics. I started probiotics packet and writhin a couple days he started eating regular food and bowl movements were good for a couple days. Stopped probiotics and everything went back to normal. No appetite and runny poop. Xrays showed enlarged liver and inflammation in lungs. Also took blood tests. Vet gave a cortisone shot and antibiotic shot and that night started eating and was great for a couple weeks. Also was on prednisone. Then yesterday bam! All the way back to before. Now they are treating him for possible pancreatitis. Yesterday he didn’t eat and was weak and threw up yellow vomit after drinking a small amount of water. Gave him cerenia and famotidine shots last night. He’s drinking now good but still not eating. They want me to feed him id hills. He has abdominal pain and the symptoms of pancreatitis. I gave him a small burger patty on the 14th and on the 18th do you think that coulda triggered him now on the 25th? I’m at a loss, he’s in pain and I don’t know what to do. If anything of this is normal or not. Prior to this last episode he lost a lot of weight and I didn’t think he would make it. Then I had hope and now all the signs are back
HOWARD BOYD he passed away a couple weeks ago. After surgery of an enlarged spleen. This was a brutal few months. Thanks for caring and replying, I was desperate
HI Doc, my mixture schnauzer was bit by a snake she received three bags of anti venom and the bite caused her pancreatitis to flare up again . She wont eat and it’s been a week. She will eat if i give her food blended and through a syringe but not on her own yet. We did wait for awhile to feed her solids , she will eat a few treats she likes. It is like she is extremely picky eater now. Her swelling has gone down. She moves about slower now but definitely likes outside walks and car rides. She barks she drinks water on her own. She just wont eat and so we have to feed her but I dont want to make her situation worse. I know it the snake bite it is like it changed her. . She was a little overweight now she is a good weight but I dont want her to loose anymore. She use to wake me up in the morning to go outside she doesn’t right now she just sleeps but if I say “lets go for a walk!” She perks up. We spent almost 4000 dollars so we cannot afford a vet right now. Any help would help greatly. Thank you for the advice given on this video
Hi, could someone help me? My little 10-year-old poodle was diagnosed with biliary sludge and cholecisitis because she had a short episode of 1 day of abdominal pain as the only symptom (and it was a intermittent thing) She never stops eating or drinking, just hunched and feel sad for no more than a couple hours, in two separate days. Her blood tests were PERFECT, and now she's more than good. I distrust the veterinarians who attended her and make the sludge scenario almost life threatening. Is there any video or recommendation for dogs with biliary sludge and an inflamed galbladder, with no signs of obstruction or other signs of sickness? She eats food prepared by me with beef, oatmeal, rice, grain flaxeed and chia seeds (and fish oil) and only some commercial kibble in 1 meal at day (just for micronutrients) Thanks to that change in her diet, she's no longer have elevated cholesterol, alkaline phosphatase or triglycerides (as before the diet change) nor hepatomegaly... But the sludge bile supposedly returned after go for 6 months, and I don't know if it is really that bad or just a common find in ultrasound studies, and also an unspecified condition from which many veterinarians without ethics take advantage. If someone could guide me I would greatly appreciate it!!! Hugs to all from Argentina! 😊
I have a question...Do you recommend GastroElm Plus? I just purchased it for my 13 yr old Pompeian. Please let me know. Good day. I love your videos, they are so so helpful. GOD BLESS.
Hi Veterinary, My 13 yr old dog is having digestive problems and may had some discomfort. She wouldn't eat for a day or two. I found a very small amount of blood in two of her stools. I am now checking every poo every time she goes now! I have been giving her Bragg organic raw apple cider vinegar mixed with water which stopped the blood in her stools. Her stools are very clean I have noticed. She is now happier & doing much better now. I have been looking for products which will help her digestive system. I have recently changed her diet to a much healthier one. Please give me the reasons why I shouldn't use GastroElm Plus in her diet.

Dr jones! Thanks a lot. Today is day 10. My Dog is her usual self. Except that poo is not very formed and still very bright yellow. She finished omeraprazole today and started probiotics.
Is it safe to fast a diabetic dog? Do I subq him the same as a regular dog? My 13 lb dachshund has been diabetic for 2 years now. In the last week he has started to have issues holding his bowels. Seems to poop more frequently and with urgency. Today it is yellow in color and that makes me think pancreatitis. He isn't vomiting and will still eat, but doesn't finish it all as he usually does. He's a low key dog, but seems very lethargic as well. Just wondering if I should fast him for 24 to rest the pancreas, but does that mean no insulin shots which he usually gets every 12 hours after food?
Hi.. the main thing is low fat, low carb, moderate to high protein. I would feed my dog a home diet of 1/3 chicken, 1/3 sweet potato/rice, 1/3 veggies, plus complete supplement with additional calcium
Thank you very much for this video. My little dog has had issues with pancreatitis on and off for at least three years. He thinks he’s a person so he refuses to eat if I don’t switch up his food every other day. He’s decided he is SO OVER oatmeal and rice. And now entirely refuses to eat Honest Kitchen. I fed him some plain chicken (with no skin) the other day and I think it was too much, because I woke up the next morning to a lot of bright red mucus vomit :’-( I let him relax and watched him closely, and didn’t feed him for a day, and we have a vet appointment tomorrow. He still seems to have a bad tum and I can hear his stomach gurgling. He sneaks eating grass to make himself throw up, which gives him some relief, but I want him to be healed. Last vet visit we got some liquid famotidine, but I don’t think it’s enough, and I’d rather that he is healed rather than just a temporary fix. :-( Open to ideas.
Sukato , the veterinarian told me to always keep famotadine onhand and also gave him a course of denamarin. Today was his last dose. And veterinarian also sold us a case of Science Diet wet food for digestive issues. This has been working. He’s been doing okay. I’ve been strict about his food and he hasn’t been throwing up and his stools are generally normal. He seems to be feeling better. But could also be because he’s been on the denamarin. So we’ll see how the next few weeks go.
I realize new needles need to be used every time but should we open a bag like that with a set up, theoretically how long will it stay good for? I have chronic pancreatitis dogs and I also have iv kits but would hate to waste one if I just do fluids for one day. So how long would the kit stay good for another treatment should we need one ?
Hello Dr. Jones, my 2 yr. old Dobie was diagnosed with pancreatitis . They gave anti nausea meds for 4 days and famotidine for 7 days. The gave me Hills I’d canned food as well. She started to respond and be herself after 2 days,,,, but I was concerned on what to feed her. I am presently watching your videos and preparing a list to feed her a low fat diet.. currently she is fed twice a day ... 3/4 cup of a low fat kibble , brn rice , kale, butternut squash or canned pumpkin with this I’d canned food. I’m putting together a better recipe with real chicken , brn rice , veggies , and supplements ....trying to find your supplements . Can I at times use chicken liver or beef liver or fish ? Please let me know if I’m doing this correctly . Thanks
You are amazing. What a gift for owners who do t have money to go to the vets and pay thousands or tetss and treatment. The vet near me wont see my animals inless i agree to various expensive out of clinic tests. I hope i never have to do this again. Had to fpr a kitty sith pancreatitis from purina.
Omg, our dog almost died, was bite by a tick and the vet couldn't figure it out paid all kinds of money different trips different meds, whe my husband seen a poster for lymes, they tested and there it was, she had it, she was at the point where she dropped and almost died. Then she started pooping cow patties, could t himd herself so tbey put her on meds, I order on chewy it is way cheaper, but over the last 2 years she has got so skinny. And they say that happens and she is always thirty, I feel so bad, I hope we are talking about same thing panacure I thibk it is what we give her. It helped for while but nkw I feel like it is making ber worse, when we cut back on it, she seems to finally have reg poop, then it comes back again. I haven't watch your video yet, I get excited
My dog got into a box of Chocolate several years ago and had a severe reaction to it. The Vet at the Animal ER diagnosed my dog with Pancreatitis and prescribed him the Gastrointestinal Low Fat dry formula by Royal Canine...three thousand dollars later. Thank God I had a health insurance plan on my dog at that time. He has been on the same dry dog food formula since he was diagnosed with Pancreatitis and has yet to have another episode. I’m wondering if my dog truly has Pancreatitis or if he just had a bad reaction to Chocolate. He’s a tiny 5lb Shihpoo who rarely gets sick. However he can be pretty sensitive to various dog treats which end up in mild vomiting from time to time. He’s 9 years old and people still mistake him for a puppy. He’s just so stinking little and cute lol
Thank you for the info. I had my rott/shepard in the ER/hospital for 5 days due to severe pancreatitis. After 5 days, she still wasn't eating so they were going to give her a feeding tube. The bills were at 2,100 dollars and we were unable to do another 4 days with the cost. I brought her home and she is still barely eating. maybe a half a cup of chicken a day. I have her on azathioprine for acid, Entyce to increase her appetite and Cernia for nausea. It's 130 dollars for 4 days of medication and she has been on it for two weeks - not very much improvement. I can feel her back bone now and im starting to get worried. I will go out and get the Frankincense oil this evening. Praying that works. The vet will not give me any more medication as he stated she will need to be seen again and a feeding tube will need to be inserted or she will be right back to where she was before. The bills just keep going up. I have 4 rescue dogs that im trying to help out so anything you can forward my way would be appreciated. Two years ago I lost my precious golden retriever at age 3 from MG and ME that started abruptly and within 6 weeks she was gone due to pneumonia and asphyxiation - horrible death, 11,000 dollars in vet/hospital bills and we still couldn't save her. It's very sad. I very much appreciate the home remedies and I will keep watching for any information you can bring my way. Thank you again!!!! Laurie
Thank you! From torn ACL to Pancreatitis.... I watch it all.because my old girl has both right now and is too senior for surgery.... But still need pain meds orally ... ugh I will have to modify as much as possible. If anyone reads this I feed raw. Pancreatitis flares up (NOW I know) if ol’ girl sneaks too much cat food when I’m not watching OR give her some kibble- even high end kibble (not low fat|GI kibble) as a quick supplement. Dang it this time I know it was the kibble.... I need to toss it or donate it.
What about Honey? I use Honey and Barley.... always when they have any kind of abdominal pain. If they're still vomiting, I only give only 1-3cc every 30 minutes -1 hr.... It is always SO hard not to give them food when they look at you and ask for it...only to be vomited after a few hours. 12-24 hrs of waiting to not feed them can be really stressful 😔 but it is what they need.....
My dog is being treated for pancreatitis and was released today for me to continue his meds and syringe feeding. He still vomiting about 2 1/2 hrs after eating but meds are also given. Lots of meds. He gets meds to help with that but hope it slows down. It’s been about a week and was wondering how long does it generally take before he is able to start eating on his own.
I can't not feed my dog because she's diabetic. She's trying to recover and has been through her medication as of today, but sill not 100%. Just moved to Phoenix and the vet here charges a fortune. I'm now in debt and have to make payments until May!! Trying to get an appointment with another vet to see if I can find someone good, but charges less. Can't get an appointment until December 1st.
It would be so nice if veterinarian's would even try to help a person who can't afford all the vet bills to have another option?
I have NEVER found one who cares enough that they are going to sacrifice their pocketbook
So sad!
Dr Jones is a hero!
I wish there were more like you!
God bless you 🙏
@Pamel Sowards: Yeah, I have a sick dog right now and the jerk didn’t want to do anything because I didn’t have the money for that insanely high bill, so he tells me I can put him down. I am NOT putting my dog down when he can be treated and cured. That jerk is horrible. I am going to call around tomorrow and see if someone will let me get the fluids and do it that way. Right now the only thing I had to force out of that useless vet was that I can give him pedialyte (4 cups per day). SMH
Some of these jerks are just in it for the money. I am so thankful this guy posted this video. I wish he was in my area!!! I’d take my dog to him in a heartbeat
@@sisterspooky I hate when vets will not even give you advice. I understand making a profit, but there should also be a love of animals. There are some good vets here in Mississippi.
@@ginamussic4964 - I wholeheartedly agree!!!!!!
Like you, I completely understand they need to make a living. I don’t begrudge them for that, but when a situation is dire, I believe they should have compassion for the animal and try to do (even a minimal amount of effort) and simply tell the person what they can do to help the situation.
They don’t… it’s all about the $$$$$.
Most people in 2023 just suck!!!
So happy to have encountered a like-minded individual like you! Take care of yourself. All the best! 😊
My vet offers a credit card with a predatory interest rate. It’s shameful.
They offered me to put my dog down
You have made me feel so much better after spending so much money at the vet today. My dog was still getting sick and they never told me to not feed her right now. Now I know!
Hope your dog is feeling better.
The vet did the same to me today. They told me to feed her protein food. I did get the IV fluids, Proviable, Cerenia for vomiting, Entyce to get her to eat, Metronidazole and Sulfasalazine for the diarrhea.
Hi Dr. Andrew Jones
Im a vet tech student and I just wanted to let you know that i really like your videos. Your videos have been helping me to clarify a lot of my vet tech questions. Thank you :)
You are welcome
Just spent $2,050 on recovering my 16 year old cat from pancreatitis. All they did was keep him overnight once, give IV fluids, ultrasound, blood panel and urinalysis. Now I'm giving him Ceneria, Gabapentin and Amoxicillin (he also has a UTI). He is doing okay eating and I hope to get a few more years with him. But, emergency vet care now is highway robbery. I don't get it, honestly.
I hear you . You can actually ask for Sub Q fluids and give kitty fluids at home . My cat was in kidney failure at 14 ,and Dr Andrew Jones recommended Grain Free High protein/ 83% + moisture.
I bought collidial silver, (pepsid, really helped ) she had a lump in her urethra area ,and I filled a Rubbermaid container and let it go warm and added 1 cup of ACVINEGAR. I put her in tub after she went to bathroom, and I massaged the area. Leaving the b room door open as I put bin in tub . I began to feel this sand empty into my hand and the lump was gone . She began to get sick ,and I asked Dr Jones,he has a video on when you know it’s time . She slept with me every night. That day I knew. However she was 21 + 6 months. She lived an excellent quality of life because of this Dr right here . She died in my arms July 23 rd at 10:30 am . It was really hard ,but she was due to be out down at 3 on that day. So trust your gut. My light that’s never worked our recessed lights blinking non stop for 2 months. So now because of this Dr and the time I had , I can honestly say regardless of how hard her death was to me ,it was an honour and a privilege to be her momma. ❤️
I’m in Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 and he’s saved me thousands of dollars. I hope your kitty is ok.
Epakitin orange lid oral powder works amazing for kidneys,but once open keep it in fridge ok . Worth every single penny.
I’ve recently heard that fishmox on Amazon is exactly the same thing as amoxicillin. Many people take it . Vets are extremely outrageous, I found my baby because someone threw her out on the side of the road with her siblings. She was the only survivor. At 2 am getting hay , what are the chances? ❤️ Michele.
Vets nowadays won't even give options for dogs that have bone cancer. They don't want to risk their license? Cowards that let animals suffer. All they want is money.
@@freespiritwithnature4384 i am so sorry for your cat. I bought a book on Amazon called wet noses at the pearly gates. To read when the time comes for my Furbaby/ dog of 13 years and 4 months, he's been dealing with heart problems since 8 years and 15 months ago he tore his back knee, which I was not putting him under a 3 hour anesthesia for surgery, plus I didn't have over $5000
The veterinarian had him on a strong anti inflammatory drug and he had already had a sensitive stomach so this caused him bloody diarrhea and vomiting blood.
I found a new veterinarian who immediately took him off it but had to keep him overnight and give fluids so I have had him on pepcid and cerenia plus a slurry for over a year.
And I have easily spent $10,000.
3000 since Christmas.
Now he just got diagnosed with beginning stages of Kidney disease.
The veterinarian of course put him on the Kibble for Kidney disease and canned food, which he won't eat anyway
I always fed my baby human grade food and cooked chicken also.
Now I had been cooking him Dr Jones diet for digestive issues but tweeking it with less protein because that's what all vets say.
Until I started researching it. I found they need protein still.
Where you say Dr Jones had yours on grainfree and 83% protein what exactly did you mean by that? Abd also tge Epakitin is that for just cats or also for dogs.
My veterinarian now I do like but they all act like we have a non ending supply of money, which I can't do anymore big vet bills.
She said she didn't think it would be Kidney disease that would take his life anyway.
This is so hard.😪
It's why I spend everything I have to comfort him.
If you have time to answer my questions I would appreciate it.
Thank you.
@@freespiritwithnature4384 is it really that easy to get Sub Q fluids from a vet? What do they charge ? I figured they would give folks a hard time since they want you to bring them in
Emergency vets want the big bucks. They aren’t in it to help pets in the all day grind of a regular practice. When I go to the emergency vet I can always hear them in the next room quoting a starting price of 2000.00. I always tell them I don’t have it. I say start with the most essential item first. The last time they started with a quote of 1500 and when we left I paid 700.00. Just tell them, you don’t have it, start with most essential and see if we can save the pet for less.
So helpful! Thank you for helping to teach people who can't afford vet treatments to be able to do something for their dogs. It's sad that most veterinarians will not tell people these things.
thanks so much for making this video.....most hard working people can't afford a 1000 dollar vet bill
It's not just about the price, but for my dog, the trauma of being left in a strange place without me was horrible. He barked so much that he became hoarse on top of the physical pain he was in. It was horrible.
My dog is suffering from the same thing rn, my neighbors dog literally died from this disease about a week ago. I pray to god that my dog doesn’t have the same outcome. The vet said that the bill is 700, with the times were in rn my parents don’t have that type of money laying around
Unfortunately she died on the first
R.I.P loosey
@@jujutheslump5969 So sorry.
Thanks. I have been doing sanctuary for 18 years and these really help. Especially as we seem to be moving into harder times
You are welcome
Thank you for this video....I wish more people were as helpful as you!
Thanks Tamara
Thank you so much as this has really helped me with my little chihuahua, baby bear and saved me a lot of time, money and stomach stress. Bless you
Omg I am experiencing the same issue with my chihuahua since last month now she is completely not eating and I’ve taken her to the vet twice and her meds help for a week she stop vomiting but now it started again and she is not eating food but she is drinking water.
@@lilmea12wondering if I’m dealing with this now too. I was away from my chihuahua to have surgery and she quit eating well. Thought it was stress related. She was eating different foods by hand. Not her regular stuff. Now stomach making noises seems ok drinking water but won’t eat nothing.
My "grandson" Bear, a 34 kg Great Pyrenees was just diagnosed with Pancreatitis. 1500$ dollars later...yikes. I will definitely be employing these recommendations. Thank you Dr 😊💓
The vet recommended Pepcid and It really helped him . I use very small dose of it on daily basis for my 16 year shih tzu .
thanks for the information, the world needs more people like you to share knowledge that can save lives. thank you
Welcome and Thanks
Thank you for caring enough for all animals. These videos you share with us are an example of you care more for the animal than you do the money you could bring in at the clinic. I have 3 miniature schnauzers and have ran into situations that if I carried them immediately to the vet for - I wouldn’t be able to own them. I’m blessed to have made it through challenging times with them through help of veterinarian friends/ our vet Dr./ and videos that are from professionals. Thank you friend
Wow thank you so so much God bless you! This is the best pain relief video for our fur babies.
thank you for giving me some tips, i took him to the vet and they gave him some fluid and special food. but it was very nice to get some extra tips and facts on how to make him feel better.
Glad I could help!
Update?
Thank you so much for this video. I think that you are so kind in helping us help our Furr babies without breaking our banks. You tips are wonderful. Can you ask a vet for a fluid bag for us to give our dogs at home? Usually they want to do things theirselves. Just asking.
Mine wouldn’t do it. But clear pedialite was advised.
hello dr, my dog (56 pounds) hasn’t eaten in 4 days and likely has pancreatitis, we’ve been to the vet and just the check up and anti nausea meds where $200. I think he hasn’t thrown up in over a day and started to drink regularly, ate grass, but refuses all food including boiled chicken. I’ll probably have to go back so he doesn’t starve to death but is there a way to keep his nutrition up while he recovers? How to know if the case is severe or mild? I’m dreading the overnight bill
Bless you Dr Jones ! You truly understand animals and people! 💙
Youre great. Wish you were closer ! I appreciate this video since I have had to care for my boxer with pancreatitis at home (when hospital was required).
Thanks for watching! Please feel free to share my videos.
Thank you, doc. My dog just had a pancreatitis. Now, I try to care for him at home.
You're welcome, Sue.
It’s been 3 years, but how did you go with treating your dog at home?
Hello Dr Jones and thank you for your video. I have a Golden Doodle, she is 3 years old. She has always had a problem of being sick bile, maybe once a week or once every two weeks. 10 days ago this turned into a really bad vomiting episode (only first thing in the morning) Following day she was sick blood. I took her straight to vet they gave her anti acid and blood tests and anti sickness. Two days later vomiting blood again, went back and he suspected pancreatitis so took a special blood test. The next day she was worse than ever and was sick just blood about 5 times. She went in for a general anaesthetic, scans and xrays but still nothing to conclude what it was. She has stopped being sick for the last two days, yesterday I had a call to say the pancreas test showed her levels were off the scale and pancreatitis was the cause. She is on a bland low fat diet but is not interested in eating, especially in the mornings, she dont eat until mid afternoon. Is there anything you can suggest to try and get her to take food earlier? Thank you, Sonia x
Thanks for your fantastic videos Dr Jones they are informative and you ALWAYS underline to see a vet wherever possible. This video has been extremely helpful to me and my dog today as I can't get to a vet. Just one question- if I can't get hold of a saline bag how else can I make sure my dog receives water please?
My dog not drinking either.
Hi Dr. Jones, thank you so much for all you share with pet parents. My Vet did a blood work on my 15 year old Yorkie(10lbs), Gizmo. He said his liver and pancreas have slightly elevated enzymes. I have to bring in a urine sample to further investigate what's happening in those areas. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again 💞
Hope Gizmo is well ❤️🐾
@@chrissygreig2277 , thank you. His results came back he is well. Sadly, I have an appt for Sept 19 to have his remaining teeth extracted. To much decay. Shame on me😔
Fan from the Philippines. More power Doc ❤️ and thank you 🙏
Thank you so much for helping all of our pet babies...you are paying it forward for others! and it will come back to you one day! You are a GOD send!!❤❤❤
My dog lost significant amount of weight and had labored breathing from the nose. Mouth closed, just breathing in and out of the nose rapidly. She also vomited a lot periodically and had wet brown diarrhea persistently. I brought her to the vet and vet found through tests she had pancreatitis. He said she was at 400 something which is very abnormal from the 200 level. They put the IV Fluid in her just like you did, but also provided a bunch of medications as well as high caloric, low fat diet food. He said it was possible she's been eating table scraps which caused that issue and to stop it immediately. I am guilty of this and never will give her human food ever again.
Honestly you are amazing.❤ Thank you for this information and all the info you put out there. My dog is a 12 year old cane corso/presa who loves to eat geese poop. 🤦🏼♀️ it causes him to have an upset stomach with diarrhea, gas and he threw up once. This is the second time it has happened. It breaks my heart to see him struggling. He seems to be stable and starting to have a better stool not so runny. I definitely won’t take him to that park again. It’s very hard to take him to the vets as he has fear aggression and will bite. He wears a muzzle but the stress he is under is awful. He will pee if he is touched by the vets and they are afraid of him so it’s very hard on everyone involved. He’s such a powerful breed and 120lbs. I don’t like to put him on the meds to calm him for the visit cause honestly it doesn’t work and makes him more angry. So I try my best to do it at home and keep him comfortable. Thank you for all your info it has helped me and my Lokai immensely. The last time I saw the vet he was surprised he was still around and doing so well. Hopefully I can clear this up on my own and avoid the vets. Again thank you for the content you put out. It’s so appreciated. ❤
Thank you, my Doberman "the velcro dog" wouldn't fair well being hospitalised like the vets wanted to today, going into the vets without me due to the covid situation was bad enough for him, I paid for blood tests and anti nausea meds and luckily the animal hospital could do a 30 min blood test, so now I have the diagnosis I can follow some of your advice. They were talking £800-1300 for everything with hospitalisation even though he is now brighter eyed, I guess stats below a certain amount they just say keep them in, he is already keeping food and water down after 24 hours, much more perky too so fingers crossed.
Hello! Can I please have the name of the oil that you are using? Thank you so much for your videos very much appreciated

Thank you so much for your video. My dog suffers from chronic pancreatitis which he didn't get until age 12. I've been wanting to treat at home as much as possible with EO, etc but I'm not getting support from my Vet for that. Will be definitely trying this.
Thanks
Im so sad for my babe he passed away today, too late for my babs Thanks Dr
Thanks for all that advice.
Vets never told me my dog had pancreatis, had to figure it out on my own :(
I sure hope you ditched that vet.
I have had the same experience. I just wanna rack up the bill when it was a simple test. I didn’t even know about it.
Thank you, we are going to try this as the last bill was $615 for a 3 day stay at our vet and we just can't afford that! I am a little worried about the sub q fluids but I think we can do it!
wow! that is cheap! where do you live? I spent 600 just for exam. urinalysis and blood work
Nebraska
$2200 for a one night stay including exam and tests in Chicago
Just spent $900 for 2 exams, injections, one half day hospital stay, IV fluids and medications in california. Still not out of the woods but hopeful she looks better today
Dang.
$204 for a overnight stay, fluids and meds in Phoenix.

Thank you for watching!
Thank you Dr. Jones for all you do for us and the animals. With the prices skyrocketing for everything not just Vet costs, this video is much appreciated. I will be making a homemade diet today. To help her get back to eating. Please do a video on essential oils. Essential oils is like a medicine cabinet for us humans, why not dogs. Will be looking for ward to more of your videos.
Many essential oils are toxic for dogs and cats. Good to be very cautious about using any treatments to animals without knowing the effect they may have.
Hi Dr.Andrew,
Is moringa good for dogs with pancreatitis?
Thank you
I’m SO glad I found you video!! I will definitely be using the essential oil for my dogs pain. For the fluid IV, how long do I have to do that for? Until my dog drinks water normally again or will I have to do it occasionally for the rest of her life?
Glad it was helpful!
I have a Yorkie that has had multiple episodes of pancreatitis. On occasion he needs IV fluids, I am a nurse and I have asked to have IV fluids so I can treat at home. I have not been able to find a vet that will prescribe fluids so I can give at home. What would be your recommendation to overcome this issue.
Yes please answer this question please
Dude you’re a hero!
Thank you so much for this valuable information. ❤
I went to 2 vets, neither gave me the option or info about giving my dog through skin ringers to keep hydrated, they preferred to give profit priority over giving options for at home care
Thank you for this! Just found out my 16 yr old pug’s pancreatitis levels are at 350. Have been making his dog food at home since finding out out about his high liver - kidney enzyme levels (above 2k) this past week. Is it ok to keep making his food at home once he recovers or is a prescription dog food better in your opinion? I did see your other video about you giving kibble and home cooked food 2x week. Do you have any diet recommendations for me moving forward? I don’t mind cooking every week just wanna make sure it’s balanced enough. Thank you again for all you do!
Hi there, I'm glad to hear that you find the information I share helpful and valuable, yes better to make it balance till he recovers. I do have other remedies on my books and try to check it out, you can give em supplements as well. :)

My cat was diagnosed with pancreatits last year. He has been hospitalized for few days. Once at home, high quality food with lowest fat max 5%, no sugar. I added also digestion enzymes in his food. He is doing well now.
Btw a cat should eat, you can’t wait 24 hours with a cat.
Cats can survive two weeks without food.

Thank you very much .
This dog looks just like my dog, Bonnie!
Even the word " pancreatitis " give me anxiety. You never know when it will flare up although you follow all the regimen. Will watch it later.
i'm struggling with treating my dog who i suspect has pancreatitis (the veterinarian won't call me back). this helps so much and i will attempt to follow your tips tomorrow. hopefully i can get the supplies during my state's lockdown.
also... i've had chronic migraines since i was 6 years old. the cold sensation peppermint eo gives relief by distracting me from the pain. i would lay on a cold kitchen/bathroom floor and use wet clothes when i was younger but peppermint eo is by and large way more effective. i put it on my temples and/or whatever side of my head the migraine is targeting.
i would also recommend it for people who are struggling with hot weather. back of the neck, chest, shoulders... really. it helps.
I cured my pomeranians pancreatic issue with 3 table spoons plain yogurt, 1/2 teaspoon organic honey, 3fresh blackberries 4fresh raspberries 6fresh blueberries, and 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder. Mixed n mash, I had to force feed him. He wasn't eating because of the belly pain. Btw he was not eating, kinda pulled into the corner for 2 days. I had enough n called the vet she said it'll be 3-6k for treatment. So I did my research overnight n wala! After giving him this concoction he was up n running around after only 20min my eyes couldn't believe what I was seeing. I Also give this mix if I take my dogs outdoors n they drink river or pond water this will keep them protected, from intestinal infections and parasites. I imagine this will work for humans also? Cucumber is another good snack for dogs it's Anti-inflammatory.
For killing worms n infestations I give my dogs 4 tablespoons plain yogurt 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley. Mix n mash n no infestation or intastional problems. Do it 1every 10 days or at least once a month. 😎 I feed the yogurt, garlic, parsley mix to my puppies n I dont have to deal with worms n my puppies are so healthy.
thank you!!!!! I will definitely get those ingredients. She already resorted to laying upstairs all by herself in the closest. Week 3 doing that. I have been trying to feed her plain yogurt and natural peanut butter dog treats but she dont eat them. I freeze them in my bone molds, just no appetite.
Lord Tigranes thank you so much for posting this and s all the measurements. God bless you
TOXIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Kills Some dogs!!!!!!!
I have just tried the this recommendation on my greyhound with reoccurring pancreatitis but didn't have fresh raspberries or blackberries so bought frozen ones and blended it in nutribullet. Can't believe the difference in about an hour! He even went for a walk and started running!I hope this will keep on working.
@@amers2851 Why is it toxic? The garlic? I have read that garlic and onions are poisonous to dogs. I'd like for Lord to reference where he got this recipe so I can do the same research? Thanks !
My dog likely has this. My vet wanted to keep my dog foot fluids and i told them i couldn't afford it. They didn't even offer to sell me the iv fluids. Now i know to demand they sell them.
great viedo i learn a lot, my dog coker spaniel has just developed pancreatits and diabetic . i will use frankincense oil and black seed oil (nigella sativa) in order to control blood sugar and pancreas imflammation
thanks
Just spent $1000 when I could’ve been treating from home smh! We’ve switched to Houston methods And cbd oil for and aspirin for pain. Also omeprazole.
YOu explained this so well, thank you.
Dr. Jones and fellow pet lovers!
I have a predominately looking cocker spaniel 2 1/2 y o male and I live in Acapulco MX w my hispanic husband.I am finding it hard to navigate how to find a holistic vet and more than likely if I did my husband would find the price to high and wouldn't return. My husband is part of the problem.
He was diagnosed ultimately with canine hepatitis. First let me explain that we either have country vets or city vets. We have gone to both. The country vets use their skills to identify what they know exist here. The city vets use their labs. We did do simple blood work and it showed everything in normal range. The much needed diagnostic test was like $55 USD or $1000 MXP which my husband didn't want to pay for.
I believe this problem started in March after my female dogs last heat. She wants nothing to do with him and gets quite aggressive when he pesters her. She is a mix of maybe husky/pit bull. She has blue eyes and short hair. He left all his food for her to eat, which, the country Dr said, it could have caused his deterioration which has led to his current problem.
Now after many visits to vets and force feeding of medication and supplements he has gone into his quiet space. He no longer wants to get too close to us, can you blame him?
He is drinking water and I give him a little bit of honey in the morning. He seems very content and in no pain. He will chase after squirrels.
Any thoughts? Thank you very much. I also like that I can put your words in Spanish for what its worth.
You are a true angel on earth!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! 😘😘😘
Do you have a video on how to tell if your dog has developed a food allergy? I changed my Corgis to a raw, dehydrated food that I add water to to Re-hydrate it. They recently started scratching this past week, after being on the food for a month now. I started adding 1/4 tsp of organic coconut oil to their food in hopes of helping with dry skin.
try Solid Gold sensitive leaping waters. it's done amazing things to heal my Bernese Mountain Dog's allergies Skin and Stomach!!!! I'm amazed!!!! He weighs 130+# and it's totally worth. autoship at Chewy.com makes it quite affordable for me and he gets half a can of tripett green tripe a day.
This will help when I get my dog back from the vet, hopefully today. 3rd day he's been there. If they let him go home today, my total bill should be under $2k. He's 14 and very lucky I'm in a point in my life that I could afford to to go to the vet. At 14, it's hard, I don't want him living in pain but he was fine ('ish, his hearing is going, he has cataracts, tracheal collapse, he's old). He was attacked 2nd time this year by a pit bull, who didn't want to kill him but just didn't want to stop chomping on the back of his neck. It was horrible, I'm still traumatized. I read injury, trauma and shock could affect/trigger pancreatitis too, maybe I'm just reaching.
Anyhow I'm glad I took him in, he stopped eating for over a week. I was trying to get him to eat anything, chicken, steak, hamburger, etc. I was going thru the fridge, trying everything to see if he eat. The last thing he ate was a piece of bologna (I was desperate). Then he stopped completely, and I took him in.
I'm waiting to hear from the vet's office today, hopefully I get to take him home.
Hi, just wanted to say how much I hope all is well. What you both have been through is really tough, I feel for you.
Here’s some advice if your dog is experiencing pancreatitis! DO NOT give your dog any food or water for at least 12-24 hrs! When you do introduce food, try switching to a raw diet, I recommend Primal freeze dried or frozen food. Before feeding add Herbsmiths Microflora supplement, it has probiotics, prebiotics, digestive enzymes, and herbs that helps your dog absorb food the way it should! Try that and stick with it and see how things go. I say this because this is what worked for me and after switching to raw, my dog has never been more healthy! I was told she had only two weeks to live so I was desperate, looking for any way that would help her get better and live longer. After doing a ton if research no thanks to the vet, I made the switch with nothing to lose and luckily had everything to gain! I strongly suggest you do your research and try to make the switch to raw, you won’t regret it!
Was your dog not eating?y vet said enlarged liver and inflammation in his lungs based on xrays. He took a cortisone shot (plus other treatments earlier for ecoli) and after that shot he started eating a ton for a little over 2 weeks and bam! Yesterday just went back to before. Now they are treating for pancreatitis but he hasn’t eaten anything since 11pm the day before yesterday. He’s in pain and poop back to runny.
nathan vollmer if you’re dog is still experiencing issues, let me know! I can help! My dog hasn’t been to to vet ever since my post because she’s been super healthy
My chihuahua been in raw for 3 years and she was doing super, but about few months ago i seen some problems and they where on and off, today she was diagnosed with pancreatitis. I don't know what yo do.
@@daureenbond don’t give her any food with fat in it, avoid human food as much as possible, that includes snacks as well! If she’s still got pancreatitis you gotta fast her from food and water for 24 hrs, then start to introduce light food like chicken breast and rice or if you have raw then give her small amounts of that
@@mik2dae143 when i came from the vet today i gave her food, but i am going to stop for 24hr, i can believe this because she has been in raw and she was doing great and know her pancreas is bad. Am looking for a diet that i could give her because am afraid to give her the raw.
Thank you for making this.
Your welcome!
My little toy fox terrier will be 17 in 2 days. She just got home after 3 days hospitalization with a diagnosis of Chronic Kidney Disease, CKD, stage 3 they’re guessing at and Hemorrhagic Diarrhea. While in hospital is when they seen blood and possible partial intestines in her stool. That didn’t happen at home, her diarrhea was just watery, almost clear so we got her there just in time. I’m praying Tinker makes it to her birthday 8/17/04 and much longer. The ER Vet bill came to $3300.00 and it’s not over bc of follow up bloodwork and tests. I’m leaning towards more natural homeopathic treatments. God put everything we all need on this earth for a reason. Not for big tech pharma to make $$$
I'm sorry to hear about that, I hope she makes a full recovery:)
is she better now?
The withholding of foods for the 12 to 24 hours is now under debate.
P.S. Dr. Jones,, I just wrote to you about my 2 yr. old Dobie.... I also used fresh ground flaxseed.
Lewis is an amazingly chilled dog, bless him! And Dr Jones you are one amazing vet to share this info with us all. Just like big pharma for humans they want us giving our dogs drugs instead of natural remedies! Thank you SO much!
Been trying to figure out what my dog has for months now. Xrays showed enlarged liver and inflammation in lungs. They tested urine and found ecoli. So then they gave antibiotics and anti inflammatory. I saw a difference right after the anti inflammatory but then he pooped black tar for a couple days. They said maybe ulcer. Quit those meds and continued a different antibiotic. He still wasn’t eating so we tested urine and it said it was clear. stopped antibiotics. I started probiotics packet and writhin a couple days he started eating regular food and bowl movements were good for a couple days. Stopped probiotics and everything went back to normal. No appetite and runny poop. Xrays showed enlarged liver and inflammation in lungs. Also took blood tests. Vet gave a cortisone shot and antibiotic shot and that night started eating and was great for a couple weeks. Also was on prednisone. Then yesterday bam! All the way back to before. Now they are treating him for possible pancreatitis. Yesterday he didn’t eat and was weak and threw up yellow vomit after drinking a small amount of water. Gave him cerenia and famotidine shots last night. He’s drinking now good but still not eating. They want me to feed him id hills. He has abdominal pain and the symptoms of pancreatitis. I gave him a small burger patty on the 14th and on the 18th do you think that coulda triggered him now on the 25th? I’m at a loss, he’s in pain and I don’t know what to do. If anything of this is normal or not. Prior to this last episode he lost a lot of weight and I didn’t think he would make it. Then I had hope and now all the signs are back
HOWARD BOYD he passed away a couple weeks ago. After surgery of an enlarged spleen. This was a brutal few months. Thanks for caring and replying, I was desperate
@@392NV sending hugs 😢
@@392NV Just read this on 2022/03... I'm so sorry for your loss 😢😢... You tried your best to medicate him 🙏🙏. He's R. I. H. now, little Angel 💕😢.
HI Doc, my mixture schnauzer was bit by a snake she received three bags of anti venom and the bite caused her pancreatitis to flare up again . She wont eat and it’s been a week. She will eat if i give her food blended and through a syringe but not on her own yet. We did wait for awhile to feed her solids , she will eat a few treats she likes. It is like she is extremely picky eater now. Her swelling has gone down. She moves about slower now but definitely likes outside walks and car rides. She barks she drinks water on her own. She just wont eat and so we have to feed her but I dont want to make her situation worse. I know it the snake bite it is like it changed her. . She was a little overweight now she is a good weight but I dont want her to loose anymore. She use to wake me up in the morning to go outside she doesn’t right now she just sleeps but if I say “lets go for a walk!” She perks up. We spent almost 4000 dollars so we cannot afford a vet right now. Any help would help greatly. Thank you for the advice given on this video
Thank you! Great advice!
Do you sell an enzyme product to add to dog food with pancreatitis? Or is there a supplement you would recommend?
I forgot to mention that Daisy has had a Noisy Stomach for months on and at that time didn't think much about it!
That can be normal
Hi, could someone help me? My little 10-year-old poodle was diagnosed with biliary sludge and cholecisitis because she had a short episode of 1 day of abdominal pain as the only symptom (and it was a intermittent thing) She never stops eating or drinking, just hunched and feel sad for no more than a couple hours, in two separate days. Her blood tests were PERFECT, and now she's more than good. I distrust the veterinarians who attended her and make the sludge scenario almost life threatening. Is there any video or recommendation for dogs with biliary sludge and an inflamed galbladder, with no signs of obstruction or other signs of sickness? She eats food prepared by me with beef, oatmeal, rice, grain flaxeed and chia seeds (and fish oil) and only some commercial kibble in 1 meal at day (just for micronutrients) Thanks to that change in her diet, she's no longer have elevated cholesterol, alkaline phosphatase or triglycerides (as before the diet change) nor hepatomegaly... But the sludge bile supposedly returned after go for 6 months, and I don't know if it is really that bad or just a common find in ultrasound studies, and also an unspecified condition from which many veterinarians without ethics take advantage. If someone could guide me I would greatly appreciate it!!! Hugs to all from Argentina! 😊
I have a question...Do you recommend GastroElm Plus? I just purchased it for my 13 yr old Pompeian. Please let me know. Good day. I love your videos, they are so so helpful. GOD BLESS.
Hi, I wouldn't advise it.
Dr J
Hi Veterinary,
My 13 yr old dog is having digestive problems and may had some discomfort. She wouldn't eat for a day or two. I found a very small amount of blood in two of her stools. I am now checking every poo every time she goes now! I have been giving her Bragg organic raw apple cider vinegar mixed with water which stopped the blood in her stools. Her stools are very clean I have noticed. She is now happier & doing much
better now. I have been looking for products which will help her digestive system. I have recently changed her diet to a much healthier one.
Please give me the reasons why I shouldn't use GastroElm Plus in her diet. Thank you MUCH. : )

Is it safe to fast a diabetic dog? Do I subq him the same as a regular dog? My 13 lb dachshund has been diabetic for 2 years now. In the last week he has started to have issues holding his bowels. Seems to poop more frequently and with urgency. Today it is yellow in color and that makes me think pancreatitis. He isn't vomiting and will still eat, but doesn't finish it all as he usually does. He's a low key dog, but seems very lethargic as well. Just wondering if I should fast him for 24 to rest the pancreas, but does that mean no insulin shots which he usually gets every 12 hours after food?
I love this guy.
Hi my dog is in the vet now for the IV bc of this. Is there a specific food that you would recommend? My dog is a pit bull and is overweight.
Hi.. the main thing is low fat, low carb, moderate to high protein. I would feed my dog a home diet of 1/3 chicken, 1/3 sweet potato/rice, 1/3 veggies, plus complete supplement with additional calcium
Thank you so much for this video !
Thank you very much for this video.
My little dog has had issues with pancreatitis on and off for at least three years. He thinks he’s a person so he refuses to eat if I don’t switch up his food every other day. He’s decided he is SO OVER oatmeal and rice. And now entirely refuses to eat Honest Kitchen.
I fed him some plain chicken (with no skin) the other day and I think it was too much, because I woke up the next morning to a lot of bright red mucus vomit :’-( I let him relax and watched him closely, and didn’t feed him for a day, and we have a vet appointment tomorrow.
He still seems to have a bad tum and I can hear his stomach gurgling. He sneaks eating grass to make himself throw up, which gives him some relief, but I want him to be healed.
Last vet visit we got some liquid famotidine, but I don’t think it’s enough, and I’d rather that he is healed rather than just a temporary fix. :-(
Open to ideas.
Charlotte Kelly Same here do u have any update?
Sukato , the veterinarian told me to always keep famotadine onhand and also gave him a course of denamarin. Today was his last dose. And veterinarian also sold us a case of Science Diet wet food for digestive issues. This has been working.
He’s been doing okay. I’ve been strict about his food and he hasn’t been throwing up and his stools are generally normal. He seems to be feeling better. But could also be because he’s been on the denamarin. So we’ll see how the next few weeks go.
Charlotte Kelly ok thank you im suspecting my dog has it idk im at the vet
Charlotte Kelly Turns out hes going to have to be put down Im in tears rn😭 never felt this way before
Sukato , I’m so very sorry to hear that :-(
I realize new needles need to be used every time but should we open a bag like that with a set up, theoretically how long will it stay good for? I have chronic pancreatitis dogs and I also have iv kits but would hate to waste one if I just do fluids for one day. So how long would the kit stay good for another treatment should we need one ?
Thank you for a great video.
Thanks for watching!

Hello Dr. Jones, my 2 yr. old Dobie was diagnosed with pancreatitis . They gave anti nausea meds for 4 days and famotidine for 7 days. The gave me Hills I’d canned food as well. She started to respond and be herself after 2 days,,,, but I was concerned on what to feed her. I am presently watching your videos and preparing a list to feed her a low fat diet.. currently she is fed twice a day ... 3/4 cup of a low fat kibble , brn rice , kale, butternut squash or canned pumpkin with this I’d canned food. I’m putting together a better recipe with real chicken , brn rice , veggies , and supplements ....trying to find your supplements . Can I at times use chicken liver or beef liver or fish ? Please let me know if I’m doing this correctly . Thanks
thank you so much for the advice
You are amazing. What a gift for owners who do t have money to go to the vets and pay thousands or tetss and treatment. The vet near me wont see my animals inless i agree to various expensive out of clinic tests. I hope i never have to do this again. Had to fpr a kitty sith pancreatitis from purina.
Omg, our dog almost died, was bite by a tick and the vet couldn't figure it out paid all kinds of money different trips different meds, whe my husband seen a poster for lymes, they tested and there it was, she had it, she was at the point where she dropped and almost died. Then she started pooping cow patties, could t himd herself so tbey put her on meds, I order on chewy it is way cheaper, but over the last 2 years she has got so skinny. And they say that happens and she is always thirty, I feel so bad, I hope we are talking about same thing panacure I thibk it is what we give her. It helped for while but nkw I feel like it is making ber worse, when we cut back on it, she seems to finally have reg poop, then it comes back again. I haven't watch your video yet, I get excited
Thanks for this video.
You're welcome
My dog got into a box of Chocolate several years ago and had a severe reaction to it. The Vet at the Animal ER diagnosed my dog with Pancreatitis and prescribed him the Gastrointestinal Low Fat dry formula by Royal Canine...three thousand dollars later. Thank God I had a health insurance plan on my dog at that time. He has been on the same dry dog food formula since he was diagnosed with Pancreatitis and has yet to have another episode. I’m wondering if my dog truly has Pancreatitis or if he just had a bad reaction to Chocolate. He’s a tiny 5lb Shihpoo who rarely gets sick. However he can be pretty sensitive to various dog treats which end up in mild vomiting from time to time. He’s 9 years old and people still mistake him for a puppy. He’s just so stinking little and cute lol
It may just have been acute pancreatitis secondary to the chocolate.
Thank you for the info. I had my rott/shepard in the ER/hospital for 5 days due to severe pancreatitis. After 5 days, she still wasn't eating so they were going to give her a feeding tube. The bills were at 2,100 dollars and we were unable to do another 4 days with the cost. I brought her home and she is still barely eating. maybe a half a cup of chicken a day. I have her on azathioprine for acid, Entyce to increase her appetite and Cernia for nausea. It's 130 dollars for 4 days of medication and she has been on it for two weeks - not very much improvement. I can feel her back bone now and im starting to get worried. I will go out and get the Frankincense oil this evening. Praying that works. The vet will not give me any more medication as he stated she will need to be seen again and a feeding tube will need to be inserted or she will be right back to where she was before. The bills just keep going up. I have 4 rescue dogs that im trying to help out so anything you can forward my way would be appreciated. Two years ago I lost my precious golden retriever at age 3 from MG and ME that started abruptly and within 6 weeks she was gone due to pneumonia and asphyxiation - horrible death, 11,000 dollars in vet/hospital bills and we still couldn't save her. It's very sad. I very much appreciate the home remedies and I will keep watching for any information you can bring my way. Thank you again!!!!

Thank you! From torn ACL to Pancreatitis.... I watch it all.because my old girl has both right now and is too senior for surgery....
But still need pain meds orally ... ugh I will have to modify as much as possible.
If anyone reads this I feed raw. Pancreatitis flares up (NOW I know) if ol’ girl sneaks too much cat food when I’m not watching OR give her some kibble- even high end kibble (not low fat|GI kibble) as a quick supplement.
Dang it this time I know it was the kibble.... I need to toss it or donate it.
You're welcome, happy to help:)
What about Honey? I use Honey and Barley.... always when they have any kind of abdominal pain. If they're still vomiting, I only give only 1-3cc every 30 minutes -1 hr....
It is always SO hard not to give them food when they look at you and ask for it...only to be vomited after a few hours. 12-24 hrs of waiting to not feed them can be really stressful 😔 but it is what they need.....
My dog is being treated for pancreatitis and was released today for me to continue his meds and syringe feeding.
He still vomiting about 2 1/2 hrs after eating but meds are also given. Lots of meds. He gets meds to help with that but hope it slows down. It’s been about a week and was wondering how long does it generally take before he is able to start eating on his own.
I can't not feed my dog because she's diabetic. She's trying to recover and has been through her medication as of today, but sill not 100%. Just moved to Phoenix and the vet here charges a fortune. I'm now in debt and have to make payments until May!! Trying to get an appointment with another vet to see if I can find someone good, but charges less. Can't get an appointment until December 1st.
