Plain-English summary
A 19-month-old male Labrador retriever was brought to the vet because he had been vomiting frequently. Tests, including blood work and an ultrasound, suggested he might have inflammation in his stomach and intestines. A closer look at tissue samples taken during an endoscopy confirmed he had severe gastritis (inflammation of the stomach) and enteritis (inflammation of the intestines). Treatment options would typically include dietary changes and medications to reduce inflammation, which can help manage his symptoms and improve his condition.

Abstract
A 19-month-old, male, Labrador retriever was presented with a history of chronic vomiting. Blood analysis and abdominal ultrasononography could not rule out the possibility of gastrointestinal inflammation. Histologic examination of endoscopic gastrointestinal biopsies confirmed severe lymphocytic-plasmacytic and atrophic gastritis, as well as, predominantly eosinophilic, severe enteritis.
