Gastrinoma

Gastrinoma

By: Dr. Bari Spielman

Section: Follow-up

Optimal treatment for your pet requires a combination of home and professional veterinary care. Follow-up can be critical, especially if your pet does not rapidly improve. Administer all prescribed medication and diet as directed. Alert your veterinarian if you are experiencing problems treating your pet.

Discontinue/avoid any medication or substance that may be causing or exacerbating the ulceration.

Return to your veterinarian for reevaluation and monitoring of certain tests, specifically for anemia and changes in the biochemical profile.

Gastrinomas are malignant tumors that carry a very poor long-term prognosis.
