Pancreatitis With Red Meat, Is Kangaroo An Alternative?

thanks again for the info. Naturally I would never do anything intentionally to harm my dog. It looks like I might have to do some more work, felt like I was on the right track keeping food diary and monitoring and changing the diet.

Hi sllebasi, I'll share my experience but as persephone said, every dog is different and I am still not sure what is best for dog. One of my Labradors had pancreatitis last year and we put her on a diet of cooked, diced kangaroo (I wasn't sure about parasite issues so I cooked it and also removed any fat - which was hardly any).

After 6 months on the kangaroo diet she started losing weight and was diagnosed with kidney failure. She has been on Royal Canine Renal diet ever since and has returned to a good healthy weight and so far been a happy dog. I'm not suggesting this diet of course, but to say, though the cause is not certain she did develop kidney problems after a kangaroo diet. I do worry about the pancreatitis returning though. She also has grass allergy issues (the kangaroo diet was also part of an elimination diet for her allergies).

I wish you well in finding a workable diet, you might be better to give her chicken breasts.

thanks for that, am thinking will stick to chicken and fish as well as rice, and veges which seems to be working well with her. i make her own treats for her like all bran muffins and oat cookies, frozen bananas are another treat, but i was just looking for something else and making sure that it was as well rounded a diet i could get. was a little worried about lack of iron, but will start giving her an egg a week and i have just remembered she gets a fair bit of spinach so perhaps i should stop worrying so much. has started limping in last three weeks but am thinking she has hurt herself jumping as she is pretty much back to normal now - am loving the fish oil and flaxseed oil and so does she.
