Pancreatitis is divided into acute pancreatitis and chronic pancreatitis. The damage caused by the former is mostly temporary, while the latter will leave permanent fibrosis and atrophy in the course of repeated chronic inflammation. Chronic pancreatitis accounts for approximately 2/3 of all pancreatitis in cats. chronic pancreatitis in cats is difficult to detect and distinguish clinically, the clinical presentation is non-specific and usually mild (loss of appetite, lethargy, dehydration, weight loss, drop in body temperature, etc.).
