A total of 76 dogs presented with the history of diarrhoea with passing loose, voluminous, grey coloured greasy faeces were considered for the study. Faecal samples were screened for parasitic ova and all were found negative. Further screened macroscopically for the presence of trypsin by x-ray film digestion test and microscopically for the presence of fat, starch and protein by standard procedures. Further haemato biochemical estimation was done and 18 dogs (23.68%) tested were found positive for Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency. The age-wise, breed-wise and sex-wise incidence of EPI was represented.
