Gastrointestinal Problems in Cats and Dogs
Gastrointestinal issues are among the most frequent health concerns in pets, ranging from mild upset stomachs to chronic medical conditions. Vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, abdominal pain, and weight loss may indicate underlying problems such as dietary intolerance, parasites, inflammatory bowel disease, pancreatitis, liver disease, or toxin exposure.
At British Veterinary Hospital, we provide complete GI diagnostics including blood tests, faecal screening, digital X‑ray, abdominal ultrasound and dietary evaluations.
Ultrasound is particularly valuable in assessing organs such as the stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas and spleen. With prompt diagnosis, we can tailor treatment plans using medications, diet changes, hydration therapy, probiotics, or advanced medical management when required.
Pets often hide discomfort, so behavioural changes such as reduced appetite, lethargy, drooling, or restlessness should never be ignored. Chronic GI disease requires specialised long-term care to stabilise symptoms and improve quality of life.
