Dove has been on prescription food by hills science I’d low fat food because her pancreas can’t handle the fat from what I was told. Well we moved to Germany and won’t be getting her food in time and won’t be able to see a vet until 2 more weeks. the food we’ve been giving her is giving her diarrhea. So I was wondering what food is similar to hills science I’d low fat that I can get right away? Thank you.

Hi there. If you just need something to give her for a short time (up to a week or two), you could feed her plain boiled chicken and rice - this is bland and very low in fat, and shouldn't upset her stomach while you're waiting to be able to get her prescription diet again.

I would feed only the low fat canned or dry diet (royal canin intestinal low fat is my preferred option) for 6 weeks to promote recovery. After this a little boiled skinless chicken, white fish, low fat cottage cheese or egg can often be safely added as well as brown rice and pasta cooked without any additional fat. Add no more than one ingredient per week and monitor for any colic or abdominal discomfort
