Pro-Bind for dog's loose stools with pancreatitis and kidney issues?

Question

Hi. My 14 year old mixed breed has chronic pancreatitis. Confirmed with bloods. And also some kidney problems. She's under vetinerary care, but would you prescribe Pro-Bind (40% fat) for loose stools? It's not helping. I understand there are other reasons and underlying kidney weakness now. I have found a prebiotic binder with no fat. It helps. I would just like to know if you would prescribe pro-bind under the circumstances. Thanks. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 14 years and 11 months old | 28 lbs

I have not personally used or prescribed Pro-Bind, but it looks similar to a product I use commonly in pancreatitis patients with diarrhea called Pro-Pectalin. Generally, we avoid fats in dogs with pancreatitis. If you are simply wanting a pre/probiotic product, powders will contain less fats and should be appropriate to use.
