CHANGES IN PHYSIOLOGICAL INDICATORS IN DOGS WITH GASTROENTERITIS

The work is devoted to the study of the local and general influence of inflammatory processes in the gastrointestinal tract on the general condition and functionality of physiological processes in dogs of different age, gender and breed groups. The negative role of pathogenic and other factors causing inflammation of the stomach and intestine in dogs is highlighted. Among the diseases of non-infectious etiology in carnivores, and in particular in dogs, lesions of the digestive system are still, unfortunately, often found. Symptoms characterizing existing inflammatory processes of the digestive system can have both non-infectious and infectious etiology. However, in some cases, there is an increased reactivity of the body to these stimuli of the receptor apparatus of the mucous membrane of the canal, in others - a slight violation of the course of physiological processes is registered only with the help of laboratory studies of biological material and, in particular, primarily blood, urine, gastric juice, feces. Almost 50 percent of diseases of non-infectious etiology are gastritis, enteritis, colitis and gastroenterocolitis. There are many works on this topic in the scientific literature, but mainly research is conducted on the effectiveness of pharmacotherapy with drugs of one or another pharmacological group. During the study of this problem, it turned out that inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract in dogs is caused, quite often, by violations of the feeding regime, drinking, traumatizing the mucous membrane with traumatic objects such as fish bones, chickens, as well as exercise disorders. All these factors can in different ways disturb the general physiological state of the animal and cause pathological symptoms. During the research period, when working with animals, attention was paid to keeping, breeding and using animals in accordance with their physiological needs in accordance with the Law of Ukraine "On the Protection of Animals from Cruelty".
