This condition can occur in all species as a consequence of obstruction of the pancreatic ducts, [[Vitamin A Deficiency|vitamin A deficiency]] may predispose to this. The condition is most common in the dog, but also in cat, horse and cattle. The [[Pancreas - Anatomy & Physiology#Endocrine|islets of Langerhans]] tend to be preserved. If chronic pancreatitis persisits it can lead to [[Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency]] (EPI). In cats, chronic pancreatitis can also lead to [[Diabetes Melitus]] developing.
