    Help with diet for cat with Pancreatitis, please

    No, Caleb's never been sick before this. I'm positive it's the correct diagnosis, he's had a sonogram that showed definitive pancreatitis and cholangiohepatitis. It's scarey how quickly he went from healthy to really sick. He is slowly getting better but we have a long road ahead of us.
