Plain-English summary
A 2-year-old female mixed-breed dog was brought in for chronic vomiting. Despite normal blood tests and imaging, the vet performed laparoscopic surgery to inspect the stomach and take biopsies. The results showed atrophy of the stomach lining, leading to a diagnosis of chronic atrophic gastritis. After treatment with immunosuppressive medication, the dog made a full recovery and no longer showed any signs of vomiting.

Abstract
Descrevem-se o diagnóstico e o tratamento de um caso de gastrite atrófica crônica, em uma cadela sem raça definida, de dois anos de idade. A paciente apresentava como principal sintomatologia vômito crônico. O hemograma, a urinálise e as avaliações bioquímicas séricas não revelaram alterações significativas. Os exames radiológicos e ultra-sonográficos abdominais também não foram sugestivos de alterações. Realizaram-se inspeção da cavidade peritoneal, gastrotomia, gastroscopia, gastrectomia para biopsia e gastrorrafia intracorpórea videolaparoscópicas. Constatou-se ausência de rugosidades estomacais. Ao exame histológico, observou-se atrofia das células principais e parietais da mucosa gástrica. O quadro clínico permitiu o diagnóstico de gastrite crônica atrófica. O animal foi medicado com terapia imunossupressora e apresentou remissão completa dos sinais clínicos.<br>This report describes a case of chronic atrophic gastritis.
