Also occurs in pigs and cattle, usually following a parasitic infection. In pigs it is present in up to 30% of pig herds and is most often caused by Redworms (''[[Hyostrongylus rubidis]]''). It mostly affects sows, and in small numbers produce little pathology, but large numbers cause [[Thin Sow Syndrome|thin sow syndrome]]. In cattle [[Ostertagiasis|Ostertagiasis]] produces a condition similar to thin sow syndrome.

Depends on the type of gastritis, lymphocytic-plasmacytic gastritis and canine eosinophilic gastritis have a good prognosis with appropriate therapy. Feline eosinophilic gastritis has a poor prognosis.
