Unhappy a little prayer...

Going through some tough times right now. I do have a question, but I will explain first. My dog, who is 12 years old (bichon frise x poodle), has in the past had surgery removing calcium oxalate bladder stones. The surgery was successful and he recovered nicely. Recently, our vet discovered a different composition of bladder stone and suggested that we treat the condition with a change in diet. So, we ended up changing to Hill’s Science Diet S/D. The result was that my dog developed pancreatitis this week, only about a week after starting on this new food. His condition is now at the point where the doctors are unsure of whether or not the pancreas will be able to function at all. Knowing full well that this was a possibility, the vet failed to inform us of it prior to switching the diet. So we have gone from having a condition which is completely curable or at least able to be surgically corrected, to one that we do not know whether or not he will make it through the weekend. He is currently on IV since he cannot accept food or water orally at this point in time. My question is, in case he is able to recover, does anyone know of a food available that will address the bladder stones as well as being low in fat to help prevent a relapse of pancreatitis? I’m trying to stay positive and do as much research as possible, but it’s hard.


Thank you,
-Adam
