He Kept Vomiting for Weeks—Until the Real Cause Was Finally Discovered

Chronic vomiting in dogs is a complex clinical issue that often requires more than basic diagnostic tools. Identifying the underlying cause is essential for effective treatment. This case demonstrates how a portable veterinary endoscope enabled accurate diagnosis and guided targeted therapy.

Case Overview

• Patient: 7-year-old mixed breed dog
• Symptoms:
  • ▪️Recurrent vomiting for over 3 weeks
  • ▪️Weight loss
  • ▪️Decreased appetite
  • ▪️Occasional diarrhea
• History: Multiple treatments with limited improvement

Clinical Challenge

Chronic vomiting can result from various conditions:

• ▪️Gastritis
• ▪️Partial foreign body obstruction
• ▪️Gastrointestinal tumors
• ▪️Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)

Conventional imaging techniques may not provide definitive answers, making accurate diagnosis challenging.

Endoscopic Solution

The veterinary team performed a gastrointestinal endoscopy using a portable veterinary endoscope system.

• ▪️General anesthesia for patient safety
• ▪️Endoscope inserted through the oral cavity into the stomach
• ▪️Real-time visualization of gastric mucosa
• ▪️Targeted biopsy sampling

Key Findings

• Severe gastric mucosal inflammation
• Localized erosions
• No foreign body detected

Biopsy results confirmed chronic gastritis.

Treatment & Outcome

• Targeted medication (anti-inflammatory therapy)
• Gastric protectants
• Dietary management

Outcome:

• ▪️Vomiting significantly reduced within one week
• ▪️Appetite gradually returned
• ▪️Full recovery after follow-up care

Why Endoscopy Was Critical

• Direct Visualization: Clear observation of mucosal lesions
• Accurate Diagnosis: Biopsy confirms underlying condition
• Better Treatment Decisions: Avoids unnecessary surgery
