Hello, thank you for your question about Bettis. I would not recommend removing Bettis' food and water as this can lead to dehydration and progression of pancreatitis. If her symptoms are more mild you could offer her some bland easily digestable/low fat food such as boiled chicken/hamburger and white rice. If she will not eat or continues to have symptoms I would recommend having her seen by your veterinarian. Hope this helps!
