136 You have diagnosed gastric ulceration in a 12-year-old, neutered male, 28 kg Irish Setter. The dog had a history of acute vomiting 24 hours prior to being presented in a collapsed state. A transfusion of fresh whole blood was administered prior to endoscopic examination of the stomach. An ulcerated lesion was seen. A biopsy was reported as inflammation or reactive hyperplasia rather than neoplasia. The dog was receiving phenylbutazone for a chronic osteoarthritic disorder. i. What treatment will you prescribe for this dog? ii. What further follow-up would you recommend?
