dc.description.abstractThe present study entitled “Clinico-biochemical and diagnostic imaging studies on gastric disorders in dogs” was conducted to determine the occurrence of gastric disorders and to evaluate clinico-biochemical, ultrasonographic and radiographic changes associated with the gastric disorders in dogs with vomiting. One hundred dogs presented to the Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex, Pookode, District Veterinary Centre (DVC) Calicut and Kalpetta, with a complaint of vomiting were screened for the involvement of gastric disorders by clinical and physical examination. Radiographic and ultrasonographic examination were conducted in required cases. Gastric disorders were confirmed in 42 vomiting dogs and subjected to detailed study. Disorders associated with vomiting in dogs were gastric disorders, renal disorders, infection, intestinal disorders, haemoprotozoans, snake bite, reproductive disorders, liver disorders, poisoning and pancreatic disorders. Dogs with gastric disorders were subjected to detailed anamnesis, clinical examination, physical examination, radiography and ultrasonography. Haematology, serum biochemistry, electrolyte, lactate and bi-carbonate analysis were carried out. The data obtained were analysed statistically by comparing with the healthy group. The gastric disorders in dogs with vomiting identified were gastritis, gastric ulcers, gastric foreign body, gastric dilatation and volvulus, gastric dilatation, gastric impaction, gastric perforation, gastric neoplasms, gastric abscess, pyloric stenosis, gastric polyp and gastro-oesophageal intussusception. In the present study, gastric disorders were more commonly seen in males and young-adult aged group of dogs. Labrador and Rottweiler were the Results breeds most affected with gastric disorders. Home-made diet was a pre-disposing factor for the gastritis. The major clinical findings associated with gastric disorders were anorexia and vomiting was seen in gastritis; hematemesis and melena in gastric ulcers; anorexia, vomiting and hematemesis in gastric foreign body; retching with unproductive vomiting in gastric dilatation and volvulus; chronic hematemesis and melena in gastric neoplasms; chronic vomiting in gastric polyp; projectile vomiting in pyloro-gastric intussusception and pyloric stenosis. Plain Radiograph was a diagnostic tool in gastritis, gastric ulcers, radioopaque gastric foreign body, gastric dilatation and volvulus, simple gastric dilatation and gastric impaction. Contrast radiography was diagnostic in radiolucent foreign bodies, gastric abscess, neoplasm, polyps and pyloro-gastric intussusception. Ultrasonography was more useful for gastritis, gastric ulcers, perforations, intussusception, neoplasms, abscess, stenosis and polyps. The major changes observed in the haemogram were increase in RBC, haemoglobin and VPRC in gastritis and decrease in the RBC, Haemoglobin and VPRC was seen in gastric ulcers and gastric neoplasm. Leucocytosis was seen in all the cases except impaction. Thrombocytopenia was seen in GDV. Serum biochemistry revealed increase in total protein, albumin and A: G ratio in dogs with gastric disorders. Hypochloremia, hyponatremia and hypokalemia were observed in dogs with vomiting. Increase in plasma lactate was a major finding in simple gastric dilatation and gastric dilatation and volvulus, and decrease in bicarbonate was another major finding in gastritis, gastric ulcers and pyloric stenosis dogs. The animals in the study were treated as per the standard protocols.en_US
