Hi there! I'm glad you reached out with your question about pancreatitis in young cats. Understanding your pet’s health is so important. Pancreatitis, which is the inflammation of the pancreas, can indeed occur in cats of any age, but young cats might show slightly different symptoms compared to older cats.
Young cats with pancreatitis may experience symptoms like decreased appetite, lethargy, vomiting, and sometimes diarrhea. These signs can be quite subtle, so it’s important to keep a close eye on your kitty’s behavior and eating habits.
At home, ensure your cat stays hydrated, as dehydration can worsen their condition. Offering small, frequent meals of a bland diet might help if they’re feeling up to eating. Avoid giving any treats or high-fat foods that could irritate their pancreas further.
Watch for signs that indicate a more serious issue, such as persistent vomiting, severe lethargy, or a completely stopped appetite. If you notice any of these, it’s crucial to seek veterinary attention promptly, as pancreatitis can lead to complications if left untreated.
I'd recommend booking a video consult with our Dial A Vet service to discuss your cat's symptoms in more detail. We can help guide you through the next best steps to take care of your furry friend.

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
