“…Commonly measured APRs include albumin (negative APP; all species), C-reactive protein (CRP) (positive APP; dog), serum amyloid A (SAA) (positive APP; dog, cat, horse, cow), haptoglobin (positive APP; dog, horse, cow), fibrinogen (positive APP; all species), and iron (negative APR; horse) (1)(2)(3)(4). APRs have also been shown to be useful for these purposes in nondomestic mammalian species (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17). For example, SAA and haptoglobin were increased in rhesus macaques with chronic active inflammation, in clinically abnormal zebras, in diseased Florida manatees, and in Asian elephants with pododermatitis, while SAA was increased in two black rhinoceros with ulcerative dermatitis (5,6,8,13,15).…”
