Expert Answer

An ordinary case of acute gastroenteritis usually recovers in about 4 days with treatment. If an infectious disease causes it, antibiotics and interferon are needed and recovery takes about a week, plus treating the underlying illness. Overall, recovery time depends on cause, constitution, and treatment; if gastroenteritis is suspected, see a vet for a confirmed diagnosis and targeted care.
