My dog has IBD, pancreatitis, and heart disease. What treatments help?

Question

My 9 year old maltipoo has been diagnosed with IBD and Pancreatitis and the beginning of heart disease. What treatment options are available and what's the prognosis?

Lindsey Edwards MVB, BSc, IVCA · Accepted Answer

Dietary management is key for reducing the severity of both IBD and pancreatitis but it is not always easy to find a food which suits both conditions. A restricted, low fat diet such as royal canin gastrointestinal low fat or hills i/d low fat can be very helpful in such cases. Depending on the degree of the heart disease, your vet may wish to prescribe heart medication or continue to monitor closely for any changes
