Assignment:
Research a veterinary medical condition that may result in emaciation (i.e., not external factors such as malnutrition or starvation but an internal factor).
Discuss in your post:
1. Common presentation or signs associated with the disease process.
2. How would you go about differentiating this disease process from starvation or malnutrition? Including, what diagnostic or ancillary testing would be needed and what the expected results.
