title: Fat absorption in dogs with demodicosis or zinc-responsive dermatosis.
abstract: Quantitative absorption of long-chain triglycerides was studied in normal dogs, dogs with demodicosis and dogs which had been successfully treated for zinc-responsive dermatosis. The mean serum triglyceride concentration of dogs treated for zinc-responsive dermatosis was significantly lower than that of normal dogs before (P less than 0.01) and at one hour (P less than 0.01) and two, three and four hours (P less than 0.001) after feeding vegetable oil. No significant difference was detected in the mean serum triglyceride concentration of dogs with demodicosis and normal dogs at any of the sampling times.
