How to tell if a dog has intestinal problems
The main symptoms of digestive problems in a dog are sluggish depression, refusal to eat, vomiting and diarrhea, varying in nature and intensity.
How do digestive disorders manifest in animals
Vomiting (if this happens half an hour after eating - a problem with the stomach, if after a few hours, then the intestines suffer); diarrhea or constipation; pain in the abdominal region; an increase in the abdomen due to gas or ascites (formation of fluid in the abdominal cavity).
What to feed a dog with stomach problems
In agreement with the veterinarian, herbal decoctions are allowed; starting from the 3rd day, the dog is given lean thermally processed meat in finely chopped form (beef, turkey), lean fish; the diet can be supplemented with well-boiled rice, vegetable puree soups from allowed products.
What improves dog digestion
The best way to prevent indigestion in an adult animal is a balanced diet that includes high-quality, easily digestible proteins, as well as important components such as fermentable fiber, which stimulates the formation of "good bacteria".
