What food to give cat with IBS and pancreatitis

Hello there! It sounds like your furry friend is going through a tough time with both IBS and pancreatitis, and managing their diet is crucial to help them feel better.



For cats with these conditions, it's important to focus on easily digestible, low-fat foods. A high-quality, digestible protein source, like chicken or turkey, often works well. You might also consider adding some pureed pumpkin, which can aid in good digestion due to its fiber content. Avoid high-fat and highly processed foods, as they can worsen pancreatitis.



If your cat tolerates it, consider feeding small, frequent meals throughout the day instead of one or two larger meals. This can help their digestive system work more gently and steadily.



Monitor for any signs of worsening, such as vomiting, diarrhea, or loss of appetite. If you notice severe lethargy, dehydration, or a painful abdomen (where your cat may be hunched up or reluctant to move), it's important to seek veterinary care immediately, as these could indicate a more serious issue.



It’s always challenging to balance the unique dietary needs for your kitty, so I recommend booking a video consult with Dial A Vet. Together, we can create a personalized nutrition plan and further discuss any concerns you have. Wishing your cat a comfortable and speedy recovery!
