| Summary: | <b>Aim:</b> The material of the case was a 12-year-old male Maltese Terrier
dog who came to the veterinary faculty animal hospital with
complaints of loss of appetite, stagnation, weight loss, intermittent
diarrhea and vomiting that did not respond to treatment for 6
months. Intestinal metaplasia was diagnosed as a result of clinical
examination, laboratory analysis, ultrasound examination, endoscopic
examination, radiological examination, experimental laparotomy
and histopathological examination. As a medical treatment for
the dog; chronic gastritis treatment was applied. For this purpose,
intravenous 0.9% NaCl and 5% dextrose solutions, vitamins and
amino acids, maropitant, ranitidine, sucralfate, and Ceftriaxone were
used for 2 weeks. It was observed that there was no response to the
medical treatment applied for 2 weeks and was referred to the operation.
A 1-1.5 cm biopsy material was taken from the pyloric antrum.
Intestinal metaplasia was diagnosed as a result of histopathological
examination of the biopsy specimen taken. After the operative intervention,
oral food intake was prevented and parenteral feeding was
given for 10 days. It was observed that the same symptoms continued
to decrease on the 30th day of the post-operative period. Gastric
intestinal metaplasia was found to be effective in chronic vomiting of
dogs that did not respond to treatment. Although endoscopic examination
made a significant contribution to the diagnosis of the disease,
it was concluded that histopathological examination was more
reliable in the type and etiology of the lesion. |
