My elderly boy Jakey has just been diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis and stage 1 chronic kidney disease.
I know a bit about CKD but was wondering whether anyone had any links, info or advice about chronic pancreatitis.
He is doing OK at the moment, the diagnosis was from changes seen in his pancreas during an ultrasound scan (I think usually called a sonogram in the US?), blood tests, along with the symptom of on off vomiting. He is not currently vomiting, the vet said to phone whenever he goes through a bout of nausea - I know the signs of this in cats - or vomiting so that I can get medication, but at the moment he is keeping his food down OK and is cuddly and playful (for an elderly cat).
