Here's some info on the cPLI test to read while you're waiting to hear back:
From
https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-p...tivity-in-dogs Which dogs should be tested for pancreatitis using cPLI?
The cPLI test should be considered for:
Dogs with signs of acute vomiting, abdominal pain, or loss of appetite, especially if a cause cannot be found on preliminary evaluation.
Dogs with recurring episodes of vomiting or poor appetite.
Dogs at increased risk for pancreatitis, e.g., some Miniature Schnauzers, and dogs being treated with anticonvulsants (e.g., potassium bromide).
