I am sorry suzy is not feeling well. I am sorry but I am not sure what you are talking about with the medication she was given. I would recommend a Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach consult to discuss this in more detail. I would recommend just regular water for a dog with a pancreas issue. The cause of pancreas issues is high fat foods and a high fat meal. I would actually avoid honey liquid since it is high in sugar. I would try a bland diet like boiled chicken and white rice and follow up with your vet as needed. Hope that helps
