If you suspect your dog may have pancreatitis, a call to the veterinarian quickly is vital. There are a number of causes and risk factors that can bring on pancreatitis, though it often seems to hit out of the blue.

What happens if you don't treat pancreatitis in dogs?

What can you do at home for a dog with pancreatitis?
