My cat has pancreatitis, won't eat, and is vomiting. Is she dying?

I am so sorry to hear about your kitty! Pancreatitis in cats is very serious, and can cause significant discomfort. If your cat isn't eating or drinking much, he may not urinate or defecate much. If you don't think the medication is helping, I recommend you chat with your veterinarian for other options. If your cat is lifeless and not responding to you at all, then you should take him to an emergency vet right away. Best wishes for you and your cat.

Pancreatitis rarely completely resolve, it can be managed (food is the most important part of the treatment) and your cat might often have relapses such as this one, every time he does he will need similar treatment, in cats i find pain killers important with pancreatitis as well as anti nausea drugs such as cerenia.

Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach, Antibiotics are required when the white blood cells are affected or if your vet is worried that Choti could be septic. I am very concerned with the bloodwork, the kidney value is very high, the liver values are high as well. The x-ray image is not good enough to really make any definitive calls. I recommend a consult with a medicine specialist if available. I would suggest a full abdominal ultrasound as well. I would get your vet to check the white blood cells to see if Choti is septic. It sounds like she is very very sick and needs intensive care. You can also get the lactate and the glucose checked to look for sepsis as well. If sepsis is present antibiotics are required ASAP, and imaging to tell if surgery is required. I hope Choti feels better soon!

I'm sorry that Jinx isn't feeling well! Pancreatitis and kidney disease are both serious conditions that require veterinary attention. Not eating/drinking can cause cats to become dehydrated and experience liver injury as the low energy balance causes the liver to metabolize fats differently. Jinx may need to be stabilized with fluids - most towns/cities have emergency clinics that are open 24 hours/day and will be able to help Jinx.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Sage. I'm sorry to hear about his ongoing issues with pancreatitis. Continue giving the fluids as you do not want him to become dehydrated. I typically include pain medication as well as an anti-nausea medication in my treatment plan. Pancreatitis can cause abdominal pain and he may not be eating due to nausea. It is also a good idea to have his cobalamin (vitamin B12) level measured in his blood. If this is cost prohibitive, most veterinarians will give an injection of this vitamin. It can help a lot. I hope these options help Sage. Good luck!

It could be Chloe has a severe stomach illness, may have eaten something rotten,could have a foreign body, or pancreatitis. It's very concerning that she has been vomiting and not eating for the past 24 hours. I'd have her seen by a vet now to have this diagnosed and treated. I hope this helps!

Poor Baby! It sounds like she has something more serious going on with her, and it could be that her anorexia, vomiting, and blood in the stool could be caused by GI tumors, GI polyps, irritable bowel disease, or a foreign body, among other causes. I would take her back into the vet for a physical exam, blood tests, a urinalysis, and possibly x-rays to diagnose what is causing her symptoms so treatment can be started. She may have something that's treatable, and her current symptoms do not necessarily mean she is dying. Have her seen by a vet in the morning.
