Gastroenteritis
Gastroenteritis is a digestive condition that causes inflammation of the stomach and intestines in pets, leading to discomfort and digestive disturbances. The condition is commonly caused by bacterial or viral infections, contaminated food, intestinal parasites, sudden dietary changes, food intolerance, toxins, or stress-related digestive issues.
Dogs and cats affected by gastroenteritis may show symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, dehydration, weakness, fever, tiredness, reduced appetite, and weight loss.
In some cases, pets may experience severe fluid loss, making immediate veterinary care extremely important.
At Shiva Pet Clinic, our veterinary team carefully examines your pet’s condition and may recommend diagnostic tests to determine the exact cause of the digestive problem. Treatment typically focuses on controlling vomiting and diarrhea, restoring hydration, improving digestion, and preventing further complications.
Depending on the severity of the illness, treatment may include medications, fluid therapy, probiotics, nutritional support, and dietary adjustments. Early diagnosis and proper medical care can help pets recover faster and prevent long-term digestive complications.
Maintaining proper hygiene, feeding high-quality food, and ensuring regular deworming and vaccinations are important steps in protecting pets from digestive infections and stomach disorders.
