Gastric Motility Disorder in Dogs

Gastric Motility Disorder in Dogs

By: Dr. Bari Spielman

Section: Follow-up

Optimal treatment for your pet requires a combination of home and professional veterinary care. There is no set regime when following animals with gastric motility disorders, rather a plan that is formulated specifically for that individual. It is important to administer all prescribed medications and follow feeding recommendations closely.

The length of treatment depends on the ability to resolve the underlying disorder or on the response to therapy. Depending on the underlying disorder, some gastric motility disorders are very treatable and even curable; however, others may have a good prognosis, such as in the case of an invasive or metastatic tumor.
