Acute pancreatitis is common in dogs and the clinical presentation can vary widely. Diagnosis of pancreatitis can be challenging in dogs and requires integration of clinical, imaging, and clinical pathology findings. However, measurement of serum pancreatic lipase plays a central role in diagnosing pancreatitis in dogs.
