Abstract in brief

Cats with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) tend to be older, with a median age of 7.7 years, and commonly show signs like weight loss, unformed feces, poor coat, anorexia, and lethargy.
A high percentage of affected cats (around 77%) exhibit hypocobalaminemia, and their response to treatment is generally favorable, especially when they receive cobalamin supplementation and have positive trypsin-like immunoreactivity.
The study indicates that EPI in cats presents differently than in dogs, often occurs in cats as young as 5 years old, and most respond well to therapy, highlighting the importance of recognizing clinical signs and providing appropriate treatment including vitamin B12 supplementation.
