Gastric [[Neoplasia - Pathology|neoplasia]] is uncommon and represents less than 1% of neoplasia in small animals. Aetiology is largely idiopathic though long term ingestion of dietary carcinogens may have some responsibility. In humans, ''[[Helicobacter]] pylori'' can induce gastric carcinomas and lymphomas. Its role in gastric tumours in dogs and cats has not yet been fully established though it is known to cause [[Gastritis, Acute|gastritis]] and [[Gastric Ulceration - all species|ulceration]]. Belgian Shepherd dogs may have a genetic predisposition to gastric carcinomas. Cats with gastric lymphomas are usually [[Feline Leukemia Virus|FeLV]] positive.

A Regenerative anaemia may be present due to gastric haemorrhage. [[:Category:Electrolytes|Electrolyte]] disturbances will be evident following vomiting and also elevated [[Urea|BUN]] and [[Creatinine|creatinine]] levels due to [[Dehydration|dehydration]].

If hepatic metastasis has occurred or if there is [[Biliary Tract - Obstruction|obstruction to the common bile duct]] hepatic enzymes will also be increased.
