Plain-English summary
A female mixed-breed dog was brought to the vet because she had been uncomfortable in her belly and vomiting for a day after eating something she shouldn't have. The vet's examination and tests confirmed that she had acute pancreatitis, which is inflammation of the pancreas often caused by eating rich or inappropriate foods. She received specific treatment and supportive care, and her symptoms improved completely after about ten days.
Abstract
A female, mixed-breed dog was presented with signs of abdominal discomfort and vomiting of 24 h duration following an episode of dietary indiscretion. Clinical signs, previous medical history, and diagnostic tests supported a diagnosis of acute pancreatitis. Specific and supportive treatment was instituted, and clinical signs resolved 10 d after presentation.
