Hypolipidemia
Hypotriglyceridemia is extremely unusual but is rarely seen in hyperthyroid cats. Hypocholesterolemia is generally uncommon, but has been reported in dogs and cats with liver failure and portosystemic shunts and animals with protein-losing enteropathies and exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. Dogs with hypoadrenocorticism may have hypocholesterolemia, but can also have hypercholesterolemia or normal cholesterol.
definition
Lack of exocrine pancreatic secretions that leads to maldigestion of food, weight loss, voluminous stools.
Also called Addison’s disease; endocrine disease of dogs associated with decreased production of mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids, or both due to adrenocortical pathology.
