There are many possible causes of feline pancreatitis. Obesity is a common risk; long-term high-protein, high-fat feeding makes pancreatitis more likely.
Bacterial infection of nearby organs such as gastroenteritis or cholangitis can also trigger it.
Other diseases like parasite infection, injury or poisoning lower immunity and appetite and can also lead to pancreatitis.
