Canine Pancreatitis - is it really such a pain?

Our collaborative presentation will focus on the medical and imaging recognition, diagnosis and treatment of canine pancreatitis. We will also briefly discuss adrenomegaly. Although development in the fields have not been extensive, we hope to give you practical guidelines for diagnosis and treatment that can assist in practice.
