4. Diagnosing Pancreatitis

If a veterinarian suspects your dog may have pancreatitis, one of the first steps is to draw blood. The vet will test the blood for signs like increased levels of certain enzymes or other signs of a problem with the pancreas. They may also order imaging studies, such as x-rays or an MRI, to look for swelling and rule out other possible causes.
