Hello! I'm sorry to hear your cat is dealing with chronic pancreatitis. It's a condition where the pancreas becomes inflamed over a long period and can lead to discomfort and digestive issues for your furry friend.
In cats, pancreatitis can be caused by factors like infections, trauma, or even concurrent diseases like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or diabetes. Some cats might also develop it without a known reason.
At home, you can support your cat by feeding a consistent, high-quality diet that's easy on the stomach. Smaller, more frequent meals can help, as well as ensuring they stay well-hydrated. Adding a little water or broth to food can encourage them to drink more.
Watch for signs like vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or decreased appetite, as these can indicate a flare-up or more serious issue. Rapid breathing or noticeable pain are more urgent signs needing immediate care.
While at-home care can be supportive, chronic pancreatitis often requires a more tailored management plan. I recommend booking a video consultation with us on Dial A Vet for a more in-depth discussion. Our vets can provide specific advice based on your cat’s unique needs and help you create a comprehensive care plan.

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
