Plasma samples analyzed for glucagon concentration by using
An ultrasonographic examination did not reveal any spaceoccupying abdominal masses or abnormal hepatic echotexture. Vital StatsTo explore possible causes of the superficial necrolytic dermatitis, such as hepatic deficiency or pancreatic glucagonoma, fasting blood samples were submitted for complete blood count CBC, serum chemistry profile, and plasma glucagon concentration. radiographic examination revealed slightly decreased liver and cardiac silhouettes but no abdominal masses. Erythema, ulcers, and superficial excoriations on the dogs footpad.
Hepatic enzyme activities and serum preprandial and postprandial bile acid concentrations were normal. Urinalysis of sample obtained by cystocentesis revealed hematuria and bacteriuria 2 blood, 1 bacteria, > RBCshpf, and WBCshpf, indicating bacterial cystitis. photomicrograph of footpad biopsy showing parakeratotic hyperkeratosis, acanthosis, and superficial lymphohistiocytic dermatitis, suggestive of superficial necrolytic dermatitis and glucagonomaassociated paraneoplastic syndrome Figure 4. urine bacterial culture was positive for Escherichia coli, with wide spectrum of antibacterial sensitivity. Erythema and crusty alopecia on the dogs dorsal paw, tarsus, hock, and stifle region.

urine bacterial culture was positive for Escherichia coli, with wide spectrum of antibacterial sensitivity. The dogs temperature and pulse and respiration rates were normal. No other abnormalities were identified on oral examination, abdominal palpation, or thoracic auscultation. 3. The CBC did not reveal any clinically relevant hematologic abnormalities, and the serum chemistry profile revealed only mildly decreased blood urea nitrogen 4 mgdl reference interval to mgdl concentrations, attributed to the poor body condition score and associated reduced muscle mass.
