Risk factors for persistent GI signs in post-parvo dogs. Effects of 8 explanatory variables on the probability that the post-parvo dogs had persistent GI symptoms at follow up (FU). The 8 explanatory variables are as follows: (a) purebred (Mixed, Purebred), (b) medical history (No, Yes), (c) metoclopramide treatment (No, Yes), (d) time of follow up with owners (days), (e) body temperature at admission (°C), (f) white blood cell count (10^9 cells per litre of blood), (g) segmented neutrophil count (10^9 cells per litre of blood), and (h) banded neutrophil count (10^9 cells per litre of blood). The sample size included 31 and 29 post-parvo dogs with and without persistent GI signs, respectively (total of 60 post-parvo dogs). The y-axis shows the probability that the post-parvo dogs will develop persistent GI signs at follow up (FU). Shown are the EMMs and their 95% CIs . To facilitate interpretation, the continuous variables are shown on the x-axis in their original units rather than in units of standard deviation
