Pancreatitis

 

PANCREATITIS -- Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas, an elongated gland that serves many functions in the process of digestion and metabolism. When digestive enzymes that normally are excreted into the intestinal tract are activated in the pancreas instead, they cause inflammation. Foods high in fat, or a lot of greasy table scraps, tend to trigger pancreatitis.


This is a serious, potentially life-threatening disease. Mortality is upwards of 20 to 25 percent. Affected animals will have severe abdominal pain, loss of appetite, lethargy, depression, vomiting and diarrhea. Dehydration is also a danger.
