Today, for the 2nd time this year (first was in April), my cat Brillo got diagnosed with pancreatitis.
At first they thought his kidneys were the problem, but, it turned out that dehydration skewed the results and he has what the vet called low-grade pancreatitis.
The vet said to start with a bland diet (Hills Digestive Care) and then move on to steroid treatment if needed.
Are there any other things I should be doing, especially if this keeps reoccurring? I know pancreatitis can be severe enough to require hospitalization and can do serious damage over time. I want to keep Brillo as healthy and happy as possible.
