Pancreatitis & the Miniature Schnauzer

Pancreatitis is a condition where the pancreas become inflamed and
do not produce the proper enzymes for digesting food.




Miniature schnauzers are prone to this disease due to the high levels of lipoproteins in their blood streams.

It is therefore imperative that you, the miniature schnauzer owner, make sure your dog does not eat a high fat diet or become obese.



Be on the look out for these warning signs:

  • Pain
  • Vomiting
  • Restless
  • Reluctant to move
  • Weak
  • Irritable
  • Diarrhea
  • Loss of Appetite



  • Most cases will require the hospitalization of your miniature schnauzer for several days to a week. And your vet will probably place your dog on a strict diet plan that restricts fat consumption.


    note: It only takes one high fat meal to cause the onset of pancreatitis. Many veterinarians have reported sharp increases in pancreatitis during the holidays! No table scraps!
