A dog’s gastric ulcer usually improves within 7 to 10 days. It is typically caused by improper diet and damaged stomach lining, and is treated with warm soapy-water enemas and water to balance stomach acidity, plus vet-prescribed medication to repair the lining.
During treatment adjust the diet to easily digested, light food and avoid cold, irritating or hard-to-digest items that could worsen the condition.
