Gastrointestinal Ulcerations in Dogs

Gastrointestinal Ulcerations in Dogs

By: Dr. Bari Spielman

Section: Follow-up

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

Discontinue and avoid any medication or substance that may be causing or exacerbating ulceration. Depending on the underlying cause of gastrointestinal ulceration, it may be necessary to return to your veterinarian for reevaluation of certain tests.
