An inflammation of the stomach and intestines is
known as gastroenteritis.
Gastroenteritis may be caused by bacteria, viruses or
parasites.
Symptoms include; vomiting , diarrhea, excessive
salivation, straining and abdominal pain.
Red bleeding is from the upper GI while dark blood
would be from the lower GI.
GI caused by viral pathogens is highly contagious. The
most common forms are canine parvovirus and swine
transmissible gastroenteritis.

Spore forming bacteria in the intestine increase in
numbers as a result of over feeding or diet change.
Bots which are the parasitic larvae of the bot fly may
be found in the stomach of horses, large numbers will
lead to colic.

GI diseases caused by parasites may not be as evident as
those caused by a virus or bacteria.
Intestinal worms may live from a month to one year. Severe
cases may lead to anemia, diarrhea and emaciation. Milder
cases may show as a poor performing animal. ( wt. gain,
growth)
Nematodes (roundworms) are common in the gastrointestinal
tract of animals.
Trichostrongyles (hairworms) are found in the stomach and
intestines of ruminants.
 Strongyles (bloodworms) infect the large intestines of horses.
 Hookworms infect the small intestines of dogs and cats
 Large roundworms infect the small intestines of pigs, dogs, cats,
horses, and poultry

Animals are infected with GI parasites when
they swallow larvae and eggs while feeding.
 To confirm the diagnosis of GI infection a fecal
flotation test should be performed for
confirmation if eggs are found.
 Some of the worms may suck blood which can
cause damage to the arteries, liver and lungs.

There are other intestinal diseases that are caused by
protozoa.
Coccidiosis is common in dogs, cats, poultry and young
ruminants.
Trichomoniasis is also found in dogs.
Both of these diseases caused severe diarrhea that may have
blood and mucus present.
Death may occur as a result of severe dehydration and anemia.

Liver flukes are worms that cause inflammation
and scarring of the liver.

disorders.

Pneumonitis (pneumonia) is an inflammation of the air

Bacterial, viral, and protozoal infections of the uterus are
known as metritis.
Bacterial infection usually occurs after birth indicated by
discharge of pus, it may have a very foul odor.
Other uterine disorders that may occur could be premature
birth, abortion, and retained placenta.
Bacterial diseases causing abortions include; vibriosis,
brucellosis, and, leptospirosis.
It may be necessary to perform lab tests on blood, fetal,
placental tissues or fetal discharge to determine the cause.

Mastitis is an inflammation of the mammary glands or udder
tissue that may occur during lactation.
Bacterial infection may be the result of material passing
through the nipple, a wound or through the blood stream.
Affected mammary glands are generally swollen, warm to the
touch and painful to the animal.
Infected milk will be discolored and thickened.

An inflammation of the skin is known as Dermatitis
which is most commonly caused by a bacterial
infection. ( could be caused by viruses, parasites, and
fungi)
Common symptoms include itching, hair loss and
lesions.
If dermatitis is caused by pus forming bacteria it is
known as pyoderma.
Pyoderma is usually associated with skin allergies or
mange.
