To summarize the current literature as it relates to etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of pancreatitis in cats and to arrive Different opioids suit different cats and in my experience cats with pancreatitis or triaditis respond well to buprenorphine. If the cat is particularly sick, these are the cases were I will reduce my buprenorphine dose from 0.02mg/kg to 0.01mg/kg – otherwise you will have a very sedated kitty. Naso-esophageal (A) and esophagostomy (B) tubes are the most practical tubes for alimentary support of cats with acute pancreatitis. References. ACVIM consensus statement on pancreatitis in cats. Forman, Steiner et al. JVIM 2021; 35:703-723. Prevalence and histopathologic characteristics of pancreatitis in cats. Pancreatitis is challenging to diagnose in cats because clinical signs can be vague. Unlike presentation in dogs, cats rarely exhibit abdominal pain, have a history of dietary indiscretion, or ingest high-fat meals. The most common clinical signs are inappetence, lethargy, dehydration, and vomiting 1,3,11; icterus and weight loss are also possible. Studies of necropsy results have shown evidence of pancreatitis in 1.0% of cats; however, recent evidence suggests that, as in humans, more than 90% of all cases remain undiagnosed. Pancreatitis can affect any breed of cat at any age. It is more common in middle-age adults. As with canine pancreatitis, the underlying cause is poorly understood. pancreatitis in cats, but there was much in the literature about the disease in humans, along with some experimental evidence in cats and nonfeline species. Most evidence was in the area of diagnosis of pancreatitis in cats, which was summarized carefully. In contrast, there was little evidence on the management of pancreatitis in cats. management of chronic pancreatitis in cats: minimizing risk factors, nutritional management, treating symptoms, treating concurrent conditions, identifying and treating autoimmune components, and monitoring. RISK REDUCTION Although the underlying cause of chronic pancreatitis in cats often cannot be determined, possible risk factors Answer: Some common side effects of Gabapentin in cats may include drowsiness, dizziness, and lack of coordination. However, these side effects are usually mild and temporary. 4. Concern: Can Gabapentin be used long-term in cats? Answer: Yes, Gabapentin can be used long-term in cats under the guidance of a veterinarian. Regular monitoring may Background. Pancreatitis in cats, although commonly diagnosed, still presents many diagnostic and management challenges. Objective.

The vet was trying to do everything to keep her from needing a feeding tube. Her bloodwork from last Tuesday did show elevated white blood cell count, so there is an infection somewhere, presumably her pancreas. Cats can suffer from two forms of pancreatitis: acute and chronic. Clinical signs can be similar for either form, but tend to come on more rapidly and are more severe in cats with acute pancreatitis. The most common clinical signs are very vague, including lethargy and a reduced appetite. I've used Gabapentin quite a bit for my cat to reduce stress during vet visits, and my dog at one point for pain management. It'll depend on the dose, but I certainly do see low energy and mild sedation from it. Before when my cat was a 5kg, the side effects were not terribly noticeable, it just took the edge off her stress.
