Plain-English summary
Feline triaditis is a condition that affects cats, involving three issues at once: inflammation of the liver and bile ducts (cholangiohepatitis), inflammation of the intestines (inflammatory bowel disease), and inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis). Cats with this syndrome may show vague symptoms, so veterinarians often rely on lab tests and imaging to help with the diagnosis, but a definitive diagnosis usually requires examining tissue samples from the affected organs. Treatment typically includes giving fluids, replacing electrolytes, using anti-inflammatory steroids, pain relief medications, anti-nausea drugs, and antibiotics. The effectiveness of the treatment can vary depending on the specific changes seen in each cat.
