A dog with pancreatitis generally needs to fast 24 to 48 hours. If after two days of treatment vomiting eases and appetite returns, the vet may allow a little low-fat prescription food.
Pancreatitis mainly comes from too much high-protein, meaty, high-fat food, so after recovery keep the diet light, control portions and give moderate exercise.
