Symptoms of pancreatitis in dogs can vary but typically include vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, lethargy, and a decreased appetite. Dogs might also show signs of fever, dehydration, and abdominal distension. Chronic cases might present more subtle symptoms like intermittent vomiting and slight abdominal discomfort, which can be easily overlooked.

Symptoms of pancreatitis can vary from mild to severe and may include:

  • Vomiting and Diarrhea: Often the first signs noticed by owners.
  • Abdominal Pain: Dogs may exhibit a hunched back or react painfully when their abdomen is touched.
  • Lethargy: A general decrease in energy levels and activity.
  • Appetite Loss: Dogs often lose their desire to eat due to nausea and abdominal pain.
