  • Gastritis in Cats

    Gastritis refers to inflammation of the lining of the stomach and is associated with a number of causes and underlying conditions. The most common clinical signs associated with gastritis are sudden vomiting and decreased appetite. Acute gastritis is typically self-limiting and of short (less than 24 hours) duration. The cause is normally not discovered because the clinical signs usually resolve before diagnostic testing is performed. In chronic cases, more involved testing will be undertaken to determine the exact cause of the cat's vomiting.
