Diagnostic algorithm for polyphagia. ACTH = adrenocorticotropic hormone; CBC = complete blood count; ERG = electroretinography; IGF-1 = insulin-like growth factor-1; SARDS = sudden acquired retinal degeneration syndrome; TLI = trypsin-like immunoreactivity. © 2020 British Small Animal Veterinary Association
