and lipase activities plus esterases, peptidases, nucleases and elastase.

TREATMENT IN ACUTE AND CHRONIC PANCREATITIS
The most important aspect of the treatment of acute
pancreatitis is initiation of vigorous therapy aimed at combating pain and
shock, restoring blood volume, blood pressure and renal function, with reducing
pancreatic secretions and combating secondary infection of necrotic tissue.
Animals surviving an acute attack should be placed on a bland and easily
digested diet (such as Prescription Diet®, i/d) and supplemented with
BIO CASE-V.
In chronic pancreatitis, replacement therapy must be given
for the duration of the animal's life. Three daily feedings of a bland and
easily digested diet containing sufficient quantities of good quality proteins
and carbohydrates and low levels of fat are recommended (i.e., Prescription
Diet, i/d). BIO CASE-V is given with each meal at a dosage level sufficient to
keep the feces normal.
