Abstract

Digestive tract disorders are common diagnostic and therapeutic problems in young dogs and cats. Prompt and effective symtomatic therapy is necessary in all such cases and is sufficient in many. Some infectious, parasitic, and protozoal diseases require alterations in kennel management as well as individual treatment. Congenital disorders are frequently challenging diagnostic dilemmas.
