Composition of the bile acid (BA) pool in the feces of control dogs (circles) and dogs with CIE (squares). (A) The total fecal BA concentration is similar between the 2 groups (P = .35). (B) The percentage of primary BAs is significantly higher in dogs with CIE (P = .04) than in control dogs. (C) The percentage of chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) is significantly higher in CIE dogs (P = .005) than in control dogs. (D) The percentage of litocholic acid (LCA), deoxycholic acid (DCA) is significantly lower CIE dogs (P = .03) than in control dogs. All results are expressed as the median. [], concentration; ns, non‐significant; CA, cholic acid; LCA, litocholic acid; UDCA, ursodeoxycholic acid. *Significantly different
