Pancreatic insufficiency is common in cats and is caused by a dysfunctional pancreas. Digestive enzymes are produced in the pancreas so when this is not working properly the animals food cant be digested resulting in severe weight loss and diarrhoea. The condition is easily managed by supplementing all of the animals food with pancreatic enzymes. The condition cant be cured and the enzymes are required for the life of the animal.
