Canine Digestive Issues - Pancreatic Pain/ Pancreatitis

Digestive discomfort in dogs can sometimes be linked with strain on the pancreas, which may contribute to changes in appetite, energy, and digestion

What’s happening

• The pancreas produces digestive enzymes and insulin.
  
  
• In pancreatitis, enzymes activate inside the pancreas, causing inflammation and pain.
  
  
• Can be acute (sudden, severe) or chronic (ongoing, milder).
