Plain-English summary
A 5-year-old female Drahthaar was brought to the vet because she had been vomiting and had bloody diarrhea for four months. The vet found severe inflammation in her stomach and other areas of her digestive tract, which could be linked to a possible parasitic infection or an allergic reaction. Treatment options may include dietary changes or medications to reduce inflammation and manage symptoms. It's important for pet owners to work closely with their veterinarian to determine the best course of action for similar cases.

Abstract
We performed a clinical and pathological study of a 5 year old female mongrel dog (Drahthaar) with eosinophilic gastroenteritis. The animal was presented with vomiting and was reported to have had bloody diarrhoea for 4 months. The lesions were in atypical locations: in the fundus of the stomach, the ileocaecal valve and the rectum, near the anal sphincter. The lesions in the stomach wall were particularly severe and included severe fibroplasia, especially in the muscle layer and submucosa. Fibroplasia was less visible in the other locations. The presence of eosinophilic granulomatous masses led us to suspect a possible parasitic infection, although some authors note that this pathological condition may have an allergic aetiology.
