Abstract
Poor understanding of the causes of primary hepatitis, especially idiopathic chronic hepatitis, results in limited options for adequate treatment and variable results. Elucidating the causes, aside from the copper-associated form of hepatitis, is of utmost importance to find etiology-based treatments for canine (chronic) hepatitis, when possible, most likely resulting in a better prognosis.
