Needs to be low fat for the pancreatitis, and moderately low protein (but high-quality bioavailable protein). A good source of protein is cooked egg white, plus a steamed root vegetable like beets with the greens will provide lots of good antioxidants and betaine for gallblader health. Calcium and trace minerals as well as b-complex vitamins will need to be added. The fat should come from a small amount of fish oil and safflower oil. Consult with a veterinary nutritionist to be sure that the diet is complete and balanced. Dear Kelly-Grace,
