Pancreatitis is the most common disease of the pancreas in cats. It is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas - the largest gland of body. Pancreatitis may be acute (mild) or chronic (severe). Signs and symptoms of cat pancreatitis include lethargy, anorexia (loss of appetite) and dehydration. Feline pancreatitis is complicated to diagnose, therefore laboratory tests & radiography are necessary. The prognosis for mild conditions is good, while the prognosis for severe conditions is poor.
Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment. The main symptoms of pancreatitis are acute, severe pain in the upper abdomen, frequently accompanied by vomiting and fever. The abdomen is tender, and the patient feels and looks ill. The diagnosis is made by measuring the blood pancreas enzymes which are elevated. An ultrasound is often done to look for gallstones. An abdominal CT exam often shows an enlarged pancreas.
