can Protease IFC (enzymes & vits), zylkene, and probiotic be given to a small dog recovering from pancreatitis and who only eats fish & currently refuses to eat the incorporated Dr. Harveys raw vibrance. Pet's info: Dog | Coton de Tulear | Female | spayed | 13 years and 9 months old | 9.8 lbs

I have no experience with Protease IFC, and I would recommend discussing it's use with the vet that diagnosed Sofia with pancreatitis. Zylkene and probiotics are fine - if you break open the Zylkene capsule, it can be sprinkled on food and may make it taste better. Personally, I am not a fan of raw diets, but at this point, it is most important to find an easily digestible, low fat food that Sofia is interested in eating. Prescription options like Hill's i/d are available through your vet. Otherwise boiled chicken breast, cooked white rice, plain toast, chicken broth, or fish broth are reasonable options.
