Narrowing of Pyloric Canal in Dogs

PrintPrint

Treatment

 

Treatment depends upon the severity of the problem. After reaching a diagnosis, your veterinarian will decide the treatment, including surgery if required. Surgery is most commonly employed to correct the pyloric canal narrowing. Fluid therapy, meanwhile, is used to stabilize a dehydrated animal due to chronic vomiting.

 

Living and Management

 

Proper nutrition (highly digestible, low fat diet) and activity restrictions will be instilled by the veterinarian, especially when the dog has undergone surgery. If recurrence of the defect should occur, a more aggressive surgical intervention will be required.

 

Overall prognosis after surgery is excellent and most animals respond well. However, in the case of neoplasia, prognosis is not good.
