Stomach diseases in pets impair the quality of life.
The stomach, which has an important role in digestion, is a very durable organ. It tries to digest all harmful and harmless foods taken through the mouth. This effort causes wear and damage in the long term.

One of the diseases of the stomach is gastritis.
Gastritis, which is an infection of the stomach lining, can be evaluated as acute and chronic. Acute gastritis is due to bad eating habits. It occurs suddenly. The disease agent is eliminated and recovery can be achieved in a short time with treatment. Eating spoilt foods or non-food products, consuming foods that are not suitable for the digestion of cats and dogs can cause the disease. Drug use, allergens, exposure to chemicals, medication, moulds and fungi, viruses and bacteria are among the causes of the disease.

Chronic gastritis is a permanent type of disease. Metabolic diseases, infections, bacterial growth in the intestines and long-term malnutrition lead to chronic gastritis.
Abdominal pain, frequent vomiting, stomach rumbling, gas, constipation, diarrhoea, blood in the stool, loss of appetite, excessive increase in water consumption can be listed as disease symptoms. Determining the underlying cause of the disease facilitates treatment.
In chronic cases, the diet must be changed. The sick animal should be fed only dry food, the meal system should be switched to a meal system and food should be given little by little.
