With acute pancreatitis, you never know where it could go.

Canine acute pancreatitis cases can range from mild to severe and change rapidly. Lasting damage can result in recurrent pancreatitis, diabetes mellitus and exocrine pancreatic insufficiency.¹

Acute pancreatitis may be more common in dogs than previously thought. Dogs with acute pancreatitis can present with a variety of clinical signs which may be subclinical. The modified canine activity index (MCAI) score utilizes 7 variables of clinical relevance in dogs with acute pancreatitis, including activity, appetite (voluntary food intake), vomiting, cranial abdominal pain, dehydration, feces consistency and blood in the feces.2

The prognosis for acute canine pancreatitis is dependent on the development of complications and early intervention.

Uncertainty and unexpected costs for hospitalization and treatment can be stressful for the veterinary team and pet owner.
