| Summary: | The puppy was one-month-old and male when it was admitted
to the Department of Internal Medicine at the Faculty
of Veterinary Medicine, University of Selcuk, Konya-Turkey.
In this report, it was evaluated that the approaches of diagnosis
and treatment of a case of gastric dilatation and
chronic gastritis defined on the basis of clinical, laboratory,
radiographic and endoscopic findings in an English Bulldog
puppy. The presenting complaints were anorexia, dullness,
abdominal distention, nausea, attempts to vomit and defecate,
colic, constipation, praying position and neurologic
seizures. Bilateral abdominal distention, colic and evidence
of gastric pain were found on clinical examination of the
dog. The owner informed that the dog had been feeding dry
dog food for adult dog and overeating. Edema and thickness,
increased mucus, hyperemia, mucosal fragility and sensitivity
in the rugal folds of curvature major, petechiel bleeding,
and bile retention together with mucosal degeneration
were observed by the endoscopic examination in the puppy.
Gastric dilatation and chronic gastritis were diagnosed on
the basis of clinical, laboratory, radiologic and endoscopic
findings and was treated. In conclusion, it was decided that
the case could be a result of falsely feeding. We recommend
the gastric decompression and lavage along with the use of
sedative and fluid therapy in the treatment of the cases. |
