G.I. Diseases        Plants Poisonous to Pets
(Click on either topic above to learn more about them)

Gastroenteritis is the second most common problem we face everyday.  It is just a fancy way to say “stomach and Bowel” Pain.  Pets may be nauseous, observed as drooling, vomiting, or just not eating.  They may also exhibit abdominal pain observed as groaning, crying out, diarrhea, constipation or straining with blood or
mucous present in their stool. 

When treating your pets, we are always looking for a cause in order to treat successfully and prevent another episode. Fecal material helps to rule out parasites or bacteria, but we are cautious of diet changes, additional new treats, traveling to new areas, or exposure to new routines, people, or other animals.  Allergies to a food substance are actually quite common.  Usually it is a protein (beef, pork, chicken) or a carbohydrate source (rice, wheat, oat).  These pets may also exhibit skin irritation and itches or recurrent ear infections.  Sometimes the problem is seasonal and
may be associated with pollen.  Be ware of patterns! 

Water sources can be especially incriminating (i.e. ponds, birdbaths, rain water down spouts).  If you own a bird, also be aware of its fecal droppings or seed materials.  
Wild animals’ fecal material may be a factor with some dogs. 

We also consider foreign bodies like string, pieces of toys or clothing,
especially with cats or new puppies. 

Lastly, as pets’ age, we must consider metabolic conditions such as thyroid disease,
diabetes, liver problems and cancer.
