cPL, canine pancreatic lipase.

aDog had pancreatitis and was allowed to visit the veterinary hospital again for follow-up.

bFor the analysis of cPL in serum, three measurement tools (IDEXX Spec cPL, SNAP cPL, and Vcheck cPL) were used.

cUltrasonographic findings suggesting pancreatitis

dIncluding pancreatitis; other concurrent diseases such as renal, hepatic, and/or other systemic diseases were recorded.
