Diagnosis of gastrointastinal tract disease and treatment of dogs

Abstract

The feed of dogs in general may contain different microelement , the inflammatory bowel disease is a collection of several disorders that characterized by continuous gastrointestinal signs , the purpose of that study to examination and discuss the hematobiochemical changes and their relation with clinical signs and also to investigate the bio-marks which act as indicators in our study as some vitamins and folate or such as cobalamin especially in dogs that suffer with inflammatory intestinal disease which that microelement can lead to the enteritis in dogs and how the process of it and let to that microelement play a big role in complication of inflammatory bowel disease in dogs in general. from or during the 6 research was collect about or in total of 23 IBD dogs which they have some signs or with symptoms of chronic gastrointestinal diseases were chosen for the study, these signs that may the dogs suffer from it as a result either enteritis or inflammatory bowel disease in general and that include vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, weight loss and abdominal pain. Then about the diagnostic tool which used in the research and has a big value in diagnostic procedure and to identify and detect the abnormalities of inflammatory bowel disease or enteritis its Ultrasound scanner, the most common of inflammatory bowel disease that related with abnormalities such as dilated intestinal loops with hyper motility, as well as thickening and loss of wall layers in the stomach, duodenum, and jejunum. And also, other diagnostic procedure which we performed during our research and also has a value in diagnosis of inflammatory complication of intestine in dogs its hematological findings showed significant increase in the total white blood cell count and dogs for significant decrease in hemoglobin and Hematocrit value which in our study discuss them. And also, in the research performed biochemical analysis that show some parameters which has significant influence in case of enteritis or inflammatory bowel disease, which that parameters act as a diagnostic value in that complication in dogs which Biochemical analysis revealed significant increase in serum activities of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), blood urea nitrogen and blood creatinine compared to the controls. Whilst significant decrease in serum 25(OH)D, folate and cobalamin levels in IBD dogs was observed which indicate intestinal malabsorption, and these markers are good predictors of IBD.
