Greetings fellow pet lovers!
My male cat Kitush is a little over 10 years old now and an indoor cat. 12 months ago we did bloodwork on him as a regular check up and they found the pancreatic enzymes were elevated at 17 which had the veterinarian suspecting pancreatitis. However no clinical symptoms are present so the vet decided to put Kitush on a different diet to help lower these enzymes are check the blood again in 6 months. So 6 months later the bloodwork was done and it went down to 13 which is still elevated however it was decreasing. The vet said ok let's continue with this and check again in 6 months which was just recent. Unfortunately they went back up to 16. Still no symptoms so the vet said ok observe the cat closely and if there are any symptoms come back, otherwise we will do bloodwork in 6 months again.
My question is: After some research in regards to this, it seems both the diagnosis and therapy is quite complicated with pancreatitis in cats.
I'm asking if there are any natural/human foods that can help with lowering these enzymes or perhaps supplements to go along with the special cat food diet he's on.
Much appreciated!
