I completely understand why you're worried about your cat's possible chronic pancreatitis. It's a challenging condition, especially with a senior cat, and it's great that you're seeking guidance.
Chronic pancreatitis in cats can be due to several factors, such as inflammation from dietary issues, infections, or even underlying conditions like diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease. Symptoms might include lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, decreased appetite, or abdominal pain.
At home, offer small, easy-to-digest meals. Focus on a consistent, balanced diet that’s low in fat. Ensure your cat stays hydrated, as pancreatitis can lead to dehydration—providing fresh water or wet food can help. Watch for any signs of severe pain, difficulty breathing, or a yellow tinge to the skin or eyes, as these can indicate serious complications.
Should your cat seem extremely uncomfortable, refuse to eat, or if you notice significant weight loss, it's crucial to reach out to a veterinarian. Early intervention can make a significant difference in managing the condition.
Consider booking a video consult with Dial A Vet to discuss your cat's history and symptoms in more detail. We can work together to develop a tailored care plan and decide if further tests or treatments might be needed.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
