Plain-English summary
A 19-month-old male Labrador retriever was brought to the vet because he had been vomiting for a long time. Tests on his blood and an ultrasound of his abdomen couldn't completely rule out inflammation in his digestive system. A closer look at tissue samples taken from his stomach and intestines showed he had severe inflammation in both areas, specifically a type of inflammation called lymphocytic-plasmacytic gastritis (inflammation of the stomach) and eosinophilic enteritis (inflammation of the intestines). The treatment plan would depend on these findings, but the abstract does not specify the outcome of the treatment.
Abstract
A 19-month-old, male, Labrador retriever was presented with a history of chronic vomiting. Blood analysis and abdominal ultrasononography could not rule out the possibility of gastrointestinal inflammation. Histologic examination of endoscopic gastrointestinal biopsies confirmed severe lymphocytic-plasmacytic and atrophic gastritis, as well as, predominantly eosinophilic, severe enteritis.
