Abstract

In the present work the prevalence of pancreatitis in dogs with gastrointestinal signology that come to consultation was determined; Given the number of dogs that come to the clinic presenting a gastrointestinal signology in the various veterinary clinics or offices in the city, there are diseases that are not diagnosed and are treated only by their signology, being one of these underdiagnosed diseases is pancreatitis, which Not being diagnosed correctly can lead to the death of the dog being a process whose complications or consequences are rapid. For these reasons we sought to evaluate the prevalence of this disease to generate significant data and references with respect to it. In the results of this work it was possible to determine the prevalence of pancreatitis in 26% of the cases studied, taking into account that it was dogs that presented a gastrointestinal signology. It was observed that the Schnauzer breed was the most common in the cases that were positive, with 23% of them.
