June is Gastrointestinal Month at Embrace – ew!
As a cat mom, I always think of that awful gagging sound a cat makeswhen she coughs up furballs oh-so-politely on your best cushion or worse. And theres that regurgitated recently-eaten mouse presented atthe foot of your bedfor your admiration…
But I know dogs have their fair share too.
Of our claims closed over the last 6 weeks, about 17% of them were for intestinal issues of one sort of another such as:
- basicvomiting ordiarrhea (hope you arent eating your lunch while you are reading this)
- gastroenteritis from bacteria or a virus or two
- ingesting foreign objects (such as razer blades,rubber balls, or undies) or poisonous items (such as rat bait or raisins)
- parasitic issues (I promise, no pictures this time around)
- food allergies
- and even motion sickness (who knew dogs got motion sickness!)
Most gastro issues are symptoms of an underlying condition, which is often hard to determine and many times goes away without us finding out what it is.
Which one of these has your dog or cat had before?
