Dogs suffer from long-term vomiting? Indigestion? Bad breath? Like to lie down? These are symptoms of chronic gastritis. How to treat them?

Introduction to the pathogens of canine chronic gastritis

The main pathogen of canine chronic gastritis is Helicobacter pylori. Canine chronic gastritis can cause symptoms such as indigestion, loss of appetite, and intermittent vomiting in dogs. Since dogs cannot speak, as an owner, you need to observe more carefully to detect the discomfort of your dog.

In 1982, Warren and Marshall successfully isolated the HP strain and named it Helicobacter pylori. In 2005, Warren and Marshall won the Nobel Prize in Medicine. Helicobacter bacteria are the main pathogenic bacteria in the upper gastrointestinal tract. It can be found in the oral mucosa and is the main microbial bacteria that live in the stomach. It can resist and adapt to the acid environment of the stomach. The discovery of Helicobacter pylori opened a new way to solve gastric problems.

During this period, dozens of scientists discovered and confirmed that Helicobacter pylori was found in humans with gastric ulcers and gastric cancer. During this period, it was proved that Helicobacter pylori was found in more than 80% of the stomachs of dogs and cats, and in the oral cavity of dogs and cats. It was found that a large number of Helicobacter bacteria exist, and the oral environment is more susceptible to bacterial colonization.

Symptoms and treatment of chronic gastritis in dogs

Chronic gastritis in dogs is mainly caused by infection with Helicobacter pylori. Since it is chronic gastritis, the symptoms appear relatively slowly, and unlike acute symptoms, the owner can detect them all at once. Canine chronic gastritis can be divided into mild poisoning and severe poisoning. The owner also needs to follow the doctor's instructions during the treatment process so that the dog can recover faster.
