What is Hills Prescription Diet™ i/d™ Low Fat Canine used for?
Gastrointestinal (GI) disorders and diseases affect a dog's stomach and intestines, resulting in pain and other problems. Healthy digestion is essential for your dog to be able to use the nutrients from their food to repair tissues and maintain energy. GI disorders can lead to dehydration, acid-base and electrolyte imbalances and malnutrition so it is crucial that you recognise the signs and consult with your veterinarian.
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.
