The multiple forms of therapy advocated in this disease bespeak the lack of agreement on its basic pathogenesis. There is a good indication for reexamination of this disease in the laboratory animal. It is the purpose of this study (a) to describe a method of consistently producing acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis in the dog and (b) to evaluate the results of bilateral subdiaphragmatic vagotomy as a definitive method of treatment.
