Symptoms of Pancreatitis in Cats

By Brittany Smith

Instructions

Nausea

Step 1:
If your cat has an inflamed pancreas, then he may develop nausea. If your cat is nauseated, then he might start vomiting as well. If your cat is vomiting more than a couple of times in one day, you should probably take him to your veterinarian for an exam.

Stomach Pain

Step 1:
The pancreas is located in the stomach or abdomen area of your cat. If your cat seems sensitive in her stomach area, then she might have pancreatitis. When the pancreas becomes inflamed, the stomach area becomes very sensitive.

Laziness

Step 1:
If your cat is usually fairly active during the day and then starts to become more lazy than normal, your cat might not be feeling well. This laziness or fatigue might be from a fever. If your cat is acting abnormal, then you should probably take him to your veterinarian for an exam.

Appetite loss

Step 1:
Appetite loss is a big indicator that something is wrong with your cat. If your cat stops eating or is eating considerably less than normal, then you should call your veterinarian and take your cat in for an exam.

Diarrhea

Step 1:
When cleaning out your cat's litter box, if you notice that your cat has diarrhea, then your cat is probably not feeling well. Your cat should have firm stool. Your cat might have an upset stomach from something she ate, or she might not be feeling well. Diarrhea is an indicator that something is not right with your cat's health and you should call your veterinarian to set up an exam for your cat.
