Description of Canine Enteritis
The word Enteritis relates to the disease in domestic animals and is the inflammation of the intestines, especially of the small intestine. Canine Enteritis is precipitated by diarrhea, the abnormally fast passing of waste material through the large intestine, resulting in frequent defecation with loose feces and sometimes cramps. If diarrhea progresses to canine enteritis a Veterinary Surgeon should be consulted.
Symptoms of Canine Enteritis
Canine Enteritis is marked by blood stained diarrhea and serious vomiting.
Dogs Susceptible to Canine Enteritis

Treatment of Canine Enteritis
Ensure that the dog is rested from any food or large amounts of water so that the intestinal tract can ease and settle down and seek advice from a Veterinary Surgeon.
