 We currently have a lovely little collie x in who is suffering from pancreatitis and liver failure. We&amp;#39;ve performed an x-lap on her this afternoon, and as she is not eating, an oesophogeal feeding tube has been placed.

&lt;p&gt;good luck!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Liver failure - diet?</title><link>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/136187?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 01 Nov 2012 15:37:51 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:6b49544e-7d51-4bcf-8daf-0762a75325c5</guid><dc:creator>Chris Geddes</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Wet low fat diet that has been through a liquidiser?
