Pancreatitis

Pancreatitis is almost 50% more commonly found in cats and dogs than in humans. Pancreatitis is the intense inflammation and swelling of the pancreas. It can either be an ‘acute case’, where animals can be at high risk (sometimes fatal) from a sudden onset of mass inflammation or a ‘chronic case’ with low grade inflammation over an extended period of time. Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) is the termed coined when the pancreas is no longer able to produce digestive enzymes, this can result from chronic pancreatitis.

We have found at MPN, pancreatic flairs are often tied into a digestive function, possible food sensitivities, food allergies, as well as genetic factors. Leaky gut syndrome is linked to many disease states and closely correlated to a poor gut immunity in pancreatitis. We find it is a little more complex than just a sensitivity to high fat diets and genetic predispositions.

Pancreatitis can advance, accompany or follow stress, obesity, Addison’s disease, Cushing’s disease, IBS, IBD and liver disease. It is important to understand the complexities of each individual case to support the health of your pet.

Core healing and replenishment of the gut with probiotics, mucilage herbs, digestive enzymes and a fresh low fat diet, can support pancreatitis effectively.
