Mixed effects model examining the change in selected variables over time in dogs with PLE treated with either cholecalciferol or placebo.

Variable	Group a	Time b	Group × Time c
PFS	0.38	< 0.001	0.41
BCS	0.26	< 0.001	0.19
Albumin (g/dL)	0.53	< 0.001	0.60
CRP (μg/mL) c	0.69	< 0.001	0.85

Abbreviations: BCS: body condition score; CRP: C‐reactive protein; PFS: Purina fecal score.
