In a dvm360® interview, Fetch Charlotte faculty member Shadi Ireifej, DVM, DACVS, shares that the number one pancreatic disease in dogs is pancreatitis, with the next 2 most common diseases not being seen so often. He will discuss pancreatic diseases at further length during his lecture at the Fetch Conference next week.
The following is a partial transcript of the video.
Shadi Ireifej, DVM, DACVS: The number one most common pancreatic disease is going to be pancreatitis, which is simply inflammation of the pancreas. Also despite how common it is, and how many thousands of literature articles are published about it, we still don't really know what causes it.
