 | | Exocrine pancreatic disease can also cause chronic diarrhea and dogs with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) often have diarrhea as the most important clinical sign.(4) In addition dogs with EPI often have weight loss, discoloration of feces, malodorous feces, and chronic skin disease.(4) However, some dogs only show chronic diarrhea. |
