Pancreas

The pancreas produces vital enzymes required for the digestion of food. If your cat’s bodily functions are restricted by an inflammation or chronic illness, this can damage its appetite and later down the line, result in weight loss and nutritional deficiencies.

Since the metabolism of dietary fats is often severely affected in pancreatic illnesses, we recommend a fat-restricted and very easily digestible diet. A food which could also be used with pet food allergies would be ideal. Vital: the food should be delicious to ensure regular feed intake.

Cats shouldn’t fast for more than two days. Otherwise their unique metabolism can easily get off balance. We recommend spreading several small meals over the course of the day, especially for sensitive gastrointestinal systems and in cases of pancreatic illness.

In recent years, thanks to modern testing procedures, it has become more and more simple to diagnose pancreatic diseases correctly. It’s even more important to treat pancreatitis as quickly as possible after diagnosis, as the symptoms are often hard to spot in cats, in contrast to dogs.

In cases of chronic pancreatitis, cats lose a lot of weight. With a limited digestion of nutrients, intestinal health and skin texture suffer.
