What tests could determine the cause of inflamed bowels and inflamed intestines in dogs?

Hi Fernando,

Thanks for your question. Sorry to hear you’re dealing with this.

It sounds like you have tried treatments but have not determined the cause. It is so important that a clear diagnosis is made and not just an assumptive one. It can be costly but implementing a treatment based on limited information both financially and emotionally.

I would speak to your veterinarian about testing that would investigate the cause. There are a few I would consider.

These are options you could speak to your veterinarian about. I recommend you have your veterinarian judge the value of these tests since they would have a greater sense of their worth given the background knowledge of the case. I would follow their recommendation, not mine.

I think it’s time to stop guessing and achieve a diagnosis.

I hope this helps.
