关于具有营养敏感健康状况的猫犬的需求的实用信息。
胃肠道疾病
急性胃肠炎,即由胃肠道 (GI) 黏膜炎症引起的突发性呕吐和/或腹泻,是犬送往兽医诊所问诊的常见原因。通常假定宠物患有炎症,但未经组织病理学证实,因此急性胃肠病是描述该病症的更适当的术语。
急性胃肠病的常见病因包括细菌、病毒、寄生虫或原虫感染;饮食失调;摄入毒素;以及急性 食物不耐受。急性呕吐和/或腹泻也可能继发于胰腺、肝脏或肾脏疾病等全身性疾病,以及内分泌和神经系统疾病。临床症状通常会自发消退,而未确定病因。在其他情况下,如果排除胃肠外病因,可能只需要对症治疗。
急性胃肠病患犬的营养管理目标是提供满足犬营养需求的饮食,最大限度地减少对胃肠道黏膜的刺激,支持正常的胃肠道运动功能,并降低胃食管反流的风险。
“呕吐或腹泻会令您和您的爱犬感到不快和不安,我们希望您的爱宠能够尽快好转。即使症状消退,您的爱犬的胃肠道也可能需要一段时间才能痊愈。在恢复期间喂食特殊饮食可以帮助您的爱犬尽快恢复正常。之后,我们可以制定计划,逐渐过渡恢复到常规饮食。”
