PANCREFIT is a pancreatic enzyme supplement that is used to treat exocrine pancreatic enzyme nsufficiency (EPI) in dogs, cats, and birds. EPI is when the pancreas is unable to make enough enzymes used for digestion.
Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) is the inability to produce sufficient pancreatic enzymes to digest fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. This difficulty in digestion leads to poor absorption of nutrients which commonly causes weight loss despite a normal or increased appetite. Affected dogs often have large volumes of pale, fatty feces. This condition is called steatorrhea or fat in the stool.
The causes of EPI can be congenital (present from birth), inherited (genetic), or acquired as the result of pancreatic infection, inflammation, or injury. The condition is seen more commonly in Chow Chows, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Rough-Coated Collies, and German Shepherd Dogs.
The main cause appears to be a progressive loss of pancreatic cells but chronic pancreatitis can also result in EPI.
Young adult dogs are often affected and have chronic diarrhea or very soft, bulky, fatty looking feces, excessive appetites, occasional vomiting, and gradual weight loss over a period of months.
Highly digestible, low fat diets together with pancreatic enzyme replacement (PANCREFIT) will usually stabilize the condition. Cobalamin (vitamin B12) supplementation may be considered by the veterinarian when hypocobalaminemia is documented.
