ABSTRACT
27 An 11-month-old male neutered Retriever cross dog (Figure 27.1) presents with a complaint of ravenous appetite; diarrhea with large volumes of greasy, fetid stool; and poor weight gain. Results of serum trypsin-like immunoreactivity (TLI), cobalamin and folate assays are given below. https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9780429401725/9d69b4ae-80d1-4f44-9dcb-659cda134065/content/fig27_1_C.jpg"/>
i. What is your clinical diagnosis?

iii. How do you interpret the cobalamin and folate results? Do these influence your initial treatment plans?
iv. Would you expect this dog to be at greater risk for the development of diabetes mellitus?
