    Hi All.
    I havent been on much here but my boy is doing pretty good.

    My question today is...
    Digestive enzymes.
    I know there are plant based and animal based.
    I was told that plant based are better for general support for cats
    And animal based are better for cats/dogs with digestive conditions.
    So. Are the animal based enzymes good for cats with pancreatitis?? Whether 1st time or chronic.

    I started Sprocket on Dr. Goodpet Digestive Enzymes with probiotics at same time as milk thistle. Since then I do see a very good change in both my cats. Those are plant based.

    I was given animal based enzymes by someone here but then my discussion started and was told not to use for Sprocket because of above info.
    I gave one jar to a dog i petsit for that has digestive issues for past year.
    I have 2 more left and would like to send to 2 people that are having issues with pancreatitis but only if it would help their cats.

    Thoughts please.
    I will reply when i can as i got a busy week.
    Thanks.

    I don't know much about that. We used FortiFlora packets to restore the gut bacteria for our kittehs in the past 2 years. It seemed to work good. Especially when they had diahrrea.

    Other than that our 3 cats seem to digest regular canned Fancy Feast foods fairly well.
