==Treatment==
Many different techniques of treating acute gastritis have been described in the literature. In general, therapy is designed to rest the stomach by witholding food and maintaining the animal's fluid , electrolyte and acid/base balance.
*Parenteral fluid therapy
*Witholding food and water for 24hours is usually sufficient to control vomiting
*Small amounts of a bland diet such as boiled chicken and potato can be offered once the animal has not vomited for at least 12 hours
*Gut protectants should be considered
