Diagnosis and treatment of canine severe pancreatitis is difficult due to itscomplex and pathogenesis developing rapidly that the death rate is higher. Although theresearch of canine pancreatitis has made a lot of progresses in recent years, causative agentand mechanism are still unclear because the data is limited. The purpose of this study wasbased on a Nanjing pet hospital from April2009to March2014, among the last5years tohospital for treatment of146canine pancreatitis cases, the retrospective study was performed.The basic data, clinical manifestation, laboratory examination and imaging diagnosis,treatment methods and other aspects were analyzed. The results will help us to betterunderstand the development of local canine pancreatitis, providing reference data for clinicaldiagnosis and treatment of canine pancreatitis.There is a relationship between the occurrence of canine pancreatitis and age, varieties,weight and food habits of dogs.

But dueto the complication of the cause of canine pancreatitis, clinical symptoms are vary andnonspecific. Thus the diagnosis of canine pancreatitis mainly depend on laboratory andimaging diagnosis. In this study, the results from laboratory tests and imaging diagnosissuggested that, the leukocyte of103dogs (103/146,70.5%) is increased obviously and, thereare more than117dogs (117/146,80%) manifested increase of serum amylase (AMYL) andlipase (LIPA), of which more than half of them increased three times than the normal value. Except AMYL and LIPA, Increase of total bilirubin and the serum alanine aminotransferasewere also used in the diagnosis of biliary pancreatitis index. Imaging diagnosis is only usefulfor severe acute pancreatitis diagnosis and the abdominal X-ray and abdominal B ultrasoundalso can be employed to distinguish canine pancreatitis from other similar symptoms of thedisease.In clinical, the treatment of canine pancreatitis mainly depends on the unified medicinetherapy. The basic treatment principle is early fasting, correction of fluid and electrolyteimbalance, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antiemetic, inhibiting secretion of pancreas, liverand gallbladder, regulating metabolism, later gradually given enteral nutrition and combinedother auxiliary treatment.
