When pancreatitis hits, you never know where it could go.

Severity can range from mild to severe and can change daily, which can lead to lasting damage such as recurrent pancreatitis, diabetes mellitus and exocrine pancreatic insufficiency.¹

Pancreatitis is far more common in dogs than previously believed. Dogs with acute pancreatitis can present with a variety of clinical signs but also be subclinical. MCAI-5 has been introduced as an objective measure to aid in severity of disease. These are the 5 clinical signs associated with acute canine pancreatitis (ACP):2

The prognosis of ACP is heavily dependent on the development of complications and early intervention.

Because severity can change daily, this leads to unexpectedly high patient costs due to hospitalization and supportive care.

This disease is stressful to the pet, the veterinarian, and the pet owner.
