Gastrointestinal Health
Vomiting, diarrhoea, or unexplained weight changes can be signs of underlying gastrointestinal issues in your pet. At Belconnen Veterinary Centre, we diagnose and treat a wide range of digestive problems in dogs and cats — from mild tummy upsets to chronic conditions.
Common Signs of Gastrointestinal Problems
If your pet’s gut isn’t functioning properly, it often shows in their behaviour, appetite, or toilet habits. Symptoms to watch for include:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhoea
- Lethargy
- Poor Skin/Coat Condition
- Stumped Growth
What to Expect During a Gastrointestinal Check
At Belconnen Veterinary Centre, we use a step-by-step approach to diagnose gut issues efficiently and gently. Your pet’s visit may include:
Thorough clinical history gathering and physical examination of the patient
The vet may recommend XRays, CT or ultrasound to get a view of what’s happening under the skin and view the internal organs
The vet may run blood tests to understand if there are underlying medical issues
