No symptoms of pancreatitis but off the charts Lipase and high Amylase (and some concerns in urinalysis).

Hi there! I understand your concern about your pet's elevated Lipase and Amylase levels, alongside some urinalysis concerns. In dogs, high levels of these enzymes can sometimes indicate pancreatic issues, even if typical symptoms like vomiting or abdominal pain aren't present. However, elevated levels can also relate to other conditions, such as kidney disease or gastrointestinal disturbances.



Since your pet isn't showing symptoms of pancreatitis, it's possible the high readings are due to other, less obvious factors. Keeping an eye on your pet's behavior can be helpful. If they're eating, drinking, and acting normally, that's a positive sign. But it's essential to monitor for any changes, like lethargy, decreased appetite, vomiting, or diarrhea, which would need a vet's attention.



At home, try to keep their diet stable—no new foods or table scraps that might irritate the gastrointestinal system. Ensure they stay hydrated, especially if there were concerns in the urinalysis.



Given the mixed test results, I'd suggest keeping an eye on any new symptoms that could indicate something more serious. If you notice any concerning changes or have further questions, it might be helpful to book a video consult with one of our vets at Dial A Vet. They'll have the chance to review your pet's specific results and give tailored advice.
