Abstract

Acute pancreatitis in dogs is a disease that is more common than previously thought. There is evidence of breed, sex, age and individual differentiation of the incidence in dogs. This study was performed in 83 dogs with spontaneous acute pancreatitis. Dogs of all ages and breeds were included, regardless of the presence or absence of comorbidities. The average age of all dogs was 5.7 years (range 1 to 12 years). The highest proportion of patients were dogs at 5 years of age (16.87% /14 dogs). The established gender distribution in the group was 48 to 35 in favor of female dogs (57.83%)
