Yes, the could be related to the pancreas but other conditions such as kidney disease, liver disease, inflammatory bowel disease or cancer can also cause these clinical signs. It sounds like Gemmy is very sick and is getting worse. I recommend to have him examined by the veterinarian quickly. He will need blood work and possibly radiographs to begin figuring out the cause of his illness and what the appropriate treatment may be. Best of luck.
