My cat has pancreatitis. Can digestive enzymes help with weight loss?
Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I am sorry that Angel has been so sick! Usually the need for pancreatic enzyme supplementation is based on blood work. Usually the TLI (a pancreatic enzyme) is low. Pancreatic enzyme are used to treat exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. Which can result from chronic pancreatitis as can Diabetes. Use in dogs and cats is considered off label, so you would have to discuss the use in Angel with a Vet that has examined her. Cats reportedly hate the taste but may accept the powder if mixed with fish/tuna oil and then thoroughly mixed with a canned food. If using solid dosage forms (enteric-coated tablets or compounded capsules made from powder or crushed tablets) be certain that immediately after dosing, water or food is consumed to reduce the risk for esophageal damage. You may also want to consider a probiotic, like Purina Fortiflora. I hope this helps and I wish you and Angel the best!

What can I give my cat for pancreatitis if he won't take pills?
Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Buddy! The medication is likely cerenia, which is an anti-nausea medication. Unfortunately there are pills or liquid formulations of medication. Cerenia and pepcid come in injectable form. The Vet can give the first dose and maybe get the pepcid and cerenia compounded in to a liquid form. If you think you can squirt liquid medications in him then I would ask to get that form. Or consider hospitalizing for injectables. I hope this helps and i wish Buddy a speedy recovery!

My cat has pancreatitis. What can I expect from her prescribed treatment?
I would expect for your vet to either prescribe or offer injectable antibiotics and anti-nausea medicine for a few days in a row. I love to use cerenia as the anti-nausea medicine as it is also a pain reliever. Your vet may choose this or something else and add in a different pain reliever if necessary. A lot of specialists don't believe antibiotics are necessary, but since a small percentage do get an infection in the pancreas, a lot of vets treat with antibiotics to cover their basis. Also you will want to make sure Coquine is staying hydrated. If he is well enough to be treated at home then your vet may want to have you come in daily for a few days to get some subcutaneous (under the skin) fluids to help keep him hydrated. If he simply has just pancreatitis and no other complicating factors then they usually improve quickly and do really well. I hope this helps!

Why is my old cat with pancreatitis having diarrhea and accidents?
Hi and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Diarrhea can be a common occurrence with pancreatitis patients. Metronidazole can help but there are also other medications and supplements that can be of benefit as well. The addition of probiotics are very helpful at reestablishing the good gut bacteria- usually this is given as a powder or capsule you can break open and place on the food daily. A couple great ones are Fortiflora and Proviable. Changing the diet to one that is more easily digestible can help to prevent diarrhea and firm up the stool. Foods I'd recommend would be Hill's I/D or Royal Canin's Low Fat Gastrointestinal diet. A B-vitamin complex is usually essential as this vitamin is typically deficient in patients that have problems with their pancreas. Medications such as Famotidine or Omeprazole which are gastric acid reducers an also help. You may want to ask your veterinarian about the above medications and supplements to see if any of these would be of benefit for Ricky.

My cat has pancreatitis, IBD, CKD. What natural remedies help?
You do not mention her current symptoms so it is difficult to address these. A probiotic such as fortiflora, antioxidants, liver aids such as zentonil or milk thistle, pain medications and frequent small meals of low fat or hydrolyzed diets can all help recovery. Repeat bloods to ensure stable or reducing white blood count is useful
