This is Panda. He became critically emaciated due to a pancreatic illness where his body is unable to digest food. There's no cure, but his condition can be managed with costly daily medication. You can donate to his lifelong treatment below ❤️‍🩹 15outof10.org/panda-2

Not necessarily. My standard poodle was diagnosed with this in 2016. He's still going strong. Takes a flight of stairs in about 4 leaps, will play fetch for as many throws as you can do(his record is 300, and I called it quits). He's having a lot of fun.

Our Coonhound has that - Exocrine Pancreas Insufficiency (EPI). Poor guy was starving to death despite being fed. We put pancreatic enzymes on his food before he eats. They are expensive but he’s worth it! So is Panda.

Our cat had pancreatic insufficiency and our vet worked with a local slaughterhouse to get her raw pancreas. Mmm, raw meat! (Well she thought it was great.) Cost us nothing but the time to get a supply every few months and was all she needed.
