Parasites

A

Spirocera lupi - migrate from the stomach to the oesophageal submucosa and then haemtogenously into the aorta causing granulomas

Q

Rumenitis - Lactic Acidosis

A

Ruminants on high grain diets as they promote the growth of Strep and Lactobacillus
Low pH eliminate normal ruminant flora - damaging mucosa

Q

Gastric Dilation and Volvulus

A

Repeated episodes of dilation lead to stretching and relaxation of gastrohepatic ligament
Predisposing factors in deep-chested dogs = overfeeding, genetics, post-prandial excrete and recurrent dilations
