Frecuencia de las principales patologías gastrointestinales en perros en la Clínica Veterinaria AMEVET.

Abstract

Gastrointestinal pathologies are part of the digestive disorders of dogs. This study aims to determine the frequency of the main gastrointestinal pathologies in dogs. These pathologies are subjected to an agent identification test, classified at the Veterinary Clinic AMEVET into viral, bacterial, parasitic, foodborne illness, and obstructive. The variable maintains the concomitant effect of age, sex, race, weight, and diet, vaccinations, signs and symptoms, appetite and hydration level. A descriptive-qualitative methodological study will be carried out applying the finite population method, identifying the frequency of the variables in dogs that have been seen in medical consultation. The diagnosis will be established through anamnesis, auscultation, clinical examinations and exploration of the digestive organs using ultrasound and Xrays. It is concluded that the prevalence of viral gastrointestinal pathologies would have the highest frequency, followed by parasitic, bacterial, then foodborne illness and finally obstructive. As a result, the prevalence of pathologies is expected to decrease, as appropriate treatment is contemplated. The usefulness of small animal clinics means a great advance as a society, since pets are a main part of human life.
