What is Hills Prescription Diet™ i/d™ Canine used for?
When talking about problems with the digestive system, many people will just think of the stomach. But the digestive system includes all the organs that are involved in processing food. It begins with the mouth and includes the oesophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, intestines, rectum, and anus. The digestive system is critical to all living creatures, not only for providing the body with nutrients it needs but also for maintaining the correct balance of fluid in the body.
There are many signs of digestive system disease, which you can look out for in your dog. These can include:
- Excessive drooling
- Diarrhea
- Constipation
- Vomiting or regurgitation
- Loss of appetite
- Bleeding
- Abdominal Pain
- Bloating
- Straining to defecate
- Shock
- Dehydration
As the digestive system is so large, the signs your dog is exhibiting can help you to know where in the system lies the problem. For example, biting, chewing, and swallowing usually are associated with diseases of the mouth, the teeth, the jaw, or the oesophagus. If your dog is vomiting, it is usually due to inflammation of the lining of stomach or intestines. Vomiting can also be caused by a nondigestive condition, such as kidney disease.
