Treating Gastroenteritis In Cats. Eosinophilic gastroenteritis in cats is an inflammatory condition of the stomach and intestines. Gastroenteritis is a diagnosis of exclusion.
In other species, pancreatitis occurs when the digestive enzymes (amylase, lipase, protease, etc.) that the pancreas produces are activated prematurely. Many owners will observe ’dry heaving’ or gagging after their cat eats or drinks. Gastroenteritis is an inflammatory disorder that damages both the intestines and stomach.
There can be several causes of feline gastroenteritis, but it is often due to consuming spoiled food or the presence of a foreign body in the digestive system, such as a hairball.
An injection may be given to settle the nausea/vomiting and sometimes a course of antibiotics will be prescribed if bacterial infection is. Most cats with gastroenteritis will have intermittent episodes of vomiting and diarrhea. The treatment of gastroenteritis in cats will depend on the underlying cause of the condition. If the vomiting and diarrhea come without warning and the cat doesn't have a fever, treatment is mainly done through oral rehydration solutions and dietary changes.
