How To Recognize and Treat Pancreatitis in Dogs

10. Prognosis and Recovery

Dogs with pancreatitis generally recover well, but their long-term prognosis depends on how well their owners can care for them. If your dog has a bout of acute pancreatitis, your veterinarian may work with you to develop diet and exercise plans to help keep your dog at a healthy weight. You will also need to be very careful to keep your dog away from fatty treats, as dogs who have had pancreatitis before are more likely to get it again. If their owners are able to follow these rules, most dogs make a full recovery.
