β¦ Synopsis
Serum amyiase and isoamylase vaiues were determined in three groups of dogs. The first group contained control dogs whiIe the other groups contained dogs with confirmed exocrine pancreatic insufticiency and diabetes mellitus respectively. The trypsin-like immunoreactivity test was also carried out on sera from dogs with exocrine pancreatic disease (EPI). A significant difference was detected in the serum amylase values between the three groups which may be of limited diagnostic value. Dogs with EPI had values lower than normal while those with diabetes mellitus had values higher than control dogs. No evidence of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency was found in dogs with diabetes meiiitus. Kcywordsz amyiase, blood, diabetes, dog, pancreas
