Gastroenterology

At VIMS Pet Hospital, our Gastroenterology department is dedicated to diagnosing and treating disorders of the digestive system in pets. From common issues like vomiting and diarrhea to more complex conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), our experienced veterinary team uses advanced diagnostics and evidence-based medicine to provide compassionate and effective care. We understand how gastrointestinal issues can impact your pet's quality of life, and we're committed to helping them feel their best.

We diagnose and treat a wide range of gastrointestinal disorders, including:
Vomiting and Diarrhea: Acute and chronic cases, including those caused by infections, dietary indiscretion, parasites, and food allergies.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): A chronic inflammation of the digestive tract.
Pancreatitis: Inflammation of the pancreas.
Liver Disease: Including hepatitis, cirrhosis, and liver tumors.
Megaesophagus: Enlargement of the esophagus, affecting the ability to swallow.
Food Allergies and Intolerances:Adverse reactions to certain food ingredients.
Gastric Ulcers: Sores in the lining of the stomach.
Foreign Body Obstructions: Blockages in the digestive tract caused by ingested objects.

Our Diagnostic Capabilities:
Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment. We utilize advanced diagnostic tools, including:
In-house Laboratory: Blood tests, PCR, fecal analysis, and other tests to assess organ function and identify infections or parasites.
Digital Radiography (X-rays): To visualize the digestive tract and identify potential obstructions or abnormalities.
Ultrasound: To examine the abdominal organs, including the liver, pancreas, and intestines, in detail.
Biopsy: Tissue samples taken during endoscopy or surgery for microscopic examination to confirm diagnoses such as IBD or cancer.

If your pet exhibits any of the following signs, it's important to seek veterinary attention:
Persistent or recurrent vomiting or diarrhea
Changes in appetite or weight loss
Blood in vomit or stool
Abdominal pain or discomfort
Lethargy or weakness
Changes in stool consistency or frequency
