Dogs with gastroenteritis will die if they are starved for five or six days, especially small dogs. If they are starved for a long time, they will develop other diseases due to hypoglycemia and endanger their lives.

Gastroenteritis is a very common disease and is easy to treat. Generally, the dog can return to normal after being given necessary anti-infective treatment and supportive treatment. It is recommended to take it to a pet hospital for treatment in time.

Dog gastroenteritis includes acute gastroenteritis and chronic gastroenteritis.

1. Dogs with acute gastroenteritis often show vomiting, diarrhea, and poor mental status. The vomitus may contain food, gastric juice, and bile.

The treatment of acute gastroenteritis depends on the dog's condition. If it is mild acute gastroenteritis, you can first take some anti-inflammatory injections and antiemetic injections, and then take some conditioning drugs orally after recovery. If the symptoms are severe and there is dehydration and electrolyte imbalance, infusion is required to correct dehydration and electrolyte imbalance, while also anti-inflammatory, antiemetic and protecting the gastrointestinal tract.

Dogs need to take oral anti-inflammatory drugs for a period of time, and at the same time use some drugs to regulate digestion. At the same time, eating prescription intestinal food will be more conducive to recovery.
