Abstract

Gastroeintestinal diseases are one of the most common groups of diseases among small domestic animals. The gastro-intestinal tract includes the oral cavity, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, pancreas, small intestine and large intestine. General signs of digestive system disorders in cats with diseases of the digestive tract are vomiting, regurgitation, capricious appetite, as well as various defecation disorders: diarrhea, coprostasis, various inclusions in feces (blood, mucus). Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract of a chronic nature often involve the manifestation of symptoms on an ongoing basis or are recur-rent in nature. Chronic gastritis, enteropathy, pancreatitis require specialized diets that normalize the functioning of the digestive tract and help improve digestive function. These therapeutic complete diets are presented in ready-made feeds in dry (pellets) and wet (pates, pouches) variations from many manufacturers of industrial feeds. Dietary therapy is required long-term or lifelong; during remission it is the basis in the treatment of chronic patients. The compositions of these diets take into account the physiological and specific needs of the animal, and are also developed on the basis of easily digestible ingredients and a reduced amount of fat, but completely replenishing the required amount of calories.
