Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas, an organ in the abdomen that releases insulin and digestive enzymes. In dogs, fatty meals can induce pancreatitis, but in cats, the cause is often unclear. Pancreatitis is potentially deadly and must be aggressively treated with pain drugs and anti-nausea medication, as well as fluids and sometimes advanced feeding.
