Possible therapeutic effect of chlorpromazine on canine pancreatitis resulting from organophosphate toxicosis

Abstract

Extract

Acute pancreatitis as a complication of organophosphate (OP) toxicosis has been described in human beings (Dressel et al., 1979; Hsaio et al., 1996), dogs and guinea pigs (Frick et al., 1987). This complication may be more common than the number of clinical reports might suggest, as it can be painless (Hsaio et al., 1996).
