Differential Diagnosis of the Simple and the Secondary Obesity in Dogs and Cats

肥胖症是由多种因素引起的一种慢性营养代谢病,按其发病机理及病因可分为单纯性及继发性两大类。肥胖症会导致心血管病、胆囊疾病、脂肪肝、高血压、高血脂、Ⅱ型糖尿病、癌症、痛风等疾病。文中对犬猫单纯性肥胖症及继发性肥胖症的病史调查、临床检查和实验室检验等鉴别要点进行了综述,以便正确诊断和有效防治犬猫肥胖症。

The obesity is a chronic nutritional metabolic disease caused by many factors. According to the pathogenesis and the etiology, the obesity is considered to be of two types： the simple obesity and the secondary obesity. Normally, the obesity could lead to many diseases, such as angiocardiop- athy, cholecystopathy, fatty liver, hypertension, hyperlipemia, type II diabetes, cancer, arthrolithiasis and so on. It is easy to diagnose the obesity in dogs and cats. But it is difficult to identify the types of the obesity. As diagnosing correctly is the prerequisite of treating disease successfully, in this article, the differential diagnosis about the simple obesity and the secondary obesity based on the medical history investigation, the clinical symptomobservation and the laboratory tests were reviewed. And the objective of our work is to help preventing and treating the obesity.
