I am so sorry that Bear is so sick at the moment! Yes, pancreatitis is extremely painful, but the pain may be able to be managed with pain medication. The best person to speak to about this is your vet, and you can discuss pain management with you for him. I hope this helps answer your question, I'm sorry you both are going through this!
