Performance of acute gastroenteritis in dogs and cats: The type of symptoms and their severity are highly related to the type and amount of microorganisms and toxins ingested. Also, different ages and sizes of dogs and cats can lead to differences in symptoms. The main manifestations of infectious diarrhoea are diarrhoea, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. Diarrhoea is the most common symptom and the nature of the stools can vary greatly depending on the causative agent of the infection. Dogs and cats whose illness is not controlled in time, especially young dogs and cats with weak resistance or those prone to stress, may be accompanied by more serious manifestations such as dehydration and electrolyte imbalance, and require extra attention.
