Dog pancreatitis is divided into acute pancreatitis and chronic pancreatitis

Causes of acute pancreatitis in dogs:

1. Infection: due to viruses and bacteria and pancreatitis caused by parasitic infections, such as canine infectious hepatitis, canine leptospirosis, and canine bile duct roundworm infection.

2. Bile duct disease: Obstruction of the ampulla of the common bile duct can cause bile to flow back into the pancreatic duct, and activate unactivated trypsinogen into trypsin to enter the pancreatic tissue, causing its own digestion, gallstones, and Common bile duct obstruction caused by tumor compression, local edema, etc.

3. Pancreatic duct obstruction: Pancreatitis occurs due to increased pancreatic duct pressure, rupture of pancreatic alveoli, and abnormal secretion of pancreatic enzymes due to pancreatic duct obstruction. It is common in pancreatic duct spasm, duodenitis, etc.

4. Improper diet: Acute pancreatitis can be induced when feeding high-fat food.

5. Hyperlipidemia, hypothyroidism, diabetes, poisoning, etc. may damage the pancreas and cause acute pancreatitis.

Symptoms of acute pancreatitis in dogs:

Acute pancreatitis is a type of pancreatic edema and bleeding caused by pancreatic enzymes digesting pancreatic enzymes themselves. Necrosis is an acute inflammation of the main pathological process. Dogs generally have clinical symptoms such as back arching and abdominal contraction, praying posture, severe abdominal pain, avoidance of abdominal palpation, repeated vomiting, and diarrhea.

Causes of chronic pancreatitis in dogs:

1. Infection: Infection of certain organs near the pancreas, such as the gallbladder and bile duct, can be transferred to the pancreas via lymph. People with localized pancreatitis who have not been cured after long-term treatment (many chronic diseases are caused by acute diseases left untreated for a long time), pylorus, duodenal infection, etc.

2. Pancreatic vascular disease: such as pancreatic arteriosclerosis, thrombosis, etc.

3. Chronic pancreatic duct obstruction: caused by pancreatic stones, biliary orifice sphincter spasm, and pancreatic duct stenosis.

Symptoms of chronic pancreatitis in dogs:

Chronic pancreatitis refers to recurrent or persistent inflammatory changes in the pancreas, which generally manifests as symptoms of indigestion. Clinically The main features are recurrent abdominal pain, fatty degeneration, hyperglycemia and diabetes.

Treatment methods for dog pancreatitis:

1. When it is determined that the dog has acute pancreatitis, pancreatic secretion should be reduced, that is, no menstruation within 4 days of illness. Give food by mouth, and then feed the dog some soft and easily digestible food when his condition improves.
2. Add fluids to the dog to prevent dehydration and shock, ensure blood volume, improve blood flow throughout the body and pancreas, and maintain water and electrolyte balance. 5% sugar saline or 50-500mL of compound sodium chloride is commonly used, divided into two portions. intravenous injection.
3. To prevent the dog from going into shock due to pain. You can give your dog analgesics or inject analgesics intramuscularly.
4. In order to avoid feelingIf you contract other complications, such as pancreatic pustules, diffuse peritonitis, etc., you can feed your dog some broad-spectrum antibiotics, such as penicillin and streptomycin.
5. If the dog develops abscesses, granulation formation and other complications in the later stages of pancreatitis, surgical treatment is required. For dogs with elevated blood sugar and diabetes, insulin can be administered according to the diabetes treatment plan.
