Hi everyone I'm new to this forum! My dog Molly is a 11lb Yorkshire terrier diagnosed on 4th January with diabetes she had DKA on 8th January ended up in ER we nearly lost her and then on 24th January diagnosed with pancreatitis (cPLI test was 2000) she is on Royal Canin Low Gastro Intestinal Food weighed with boiled chicken works out at 3/4 dry food (with added water) and 1/4 boiled chicken.
We are having a huge amount of difficulty getting her regulated her BG is still very erratic being high in the morning drops until about 1pm to 18 then rises again as in high so above 30 she is currently on 6u Caninsulin twice a day she was started on 2u and we've increased slowly as per the vets now she was getting lower numbers before the pancreatitis diagnosis can pancreatitis cause elevated BG? She hasn't had a flare up with pancreatitis as of yet.
We are also feeding her three times a day as not to induce a flare up as per the vet Obviously this is a viscious circle as the second meal is not supported by insulin so I would love anyone's feedback with pancreatitis and how this can affect the BG and should I swap her to two meals or would I risk a flare up?
Thank you!
