Concurrent intestinal and gastric pathologic changes are common in dogs. This study highlights the importance of obtaining both gastric and duodenal biopsies during gastroduodenoscopy to accurately diagnose canine gastrointestinal disease.
Area of Science:
- Veterinary Medicine
- Gastroenterology
- Pathology
Background:
- Gastric and intestinal diseases frequently occur together in dogs.
- Understanding concurrent pathologies is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the co-occurrence of intestinal and gastric pathologic changes in dogs.
- To characterize clinical, clinicopathologic, and endoscopic findings in dogs with gastric abnormalities.
Main Methods:
- A retrospective case series analyzed medical records of 67 dogs with gastric histopathologic abnormalities.
- Data included history, physical examination, diagnostic tests, and endoscopic findings.
- Gastric and intestinal biopsy specimens were evaluated.
Main Results:
- Vomiting was the most common clinical sign (53.7%).
- Panhypoproteinemia was the most frequent biochemical abnormality (42.2%).
- Lymphoplasmacytic gastritis was the most common gastric finding (50.7%), often mild.
- Concurrent intestinal pathologic changes were found in 71.7% of dogs with available intestinal biopsies.
Conclusions:
- Intestinal pathologic changes frequently accompany gastric changes in dogs.
- Collecting both gastric and duodenal biopsies during gastroduodenoscopy is recommended.
- Lymphoplasmacytic gastritis is a common gastric finding, often of mild to moderate severity.

Peptic Ulcer Disease III: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies
Few clinical manifestations differentiate gastric ulcers from duodenal ulcers. Distinctions in the location, timing, and pain relief are crucial for healthcare providers in differentiating between gastric and duodenal ulcers during clinical assessments.
Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...
