Here's why:
* Ulcers have various causes: A veterinarian can properly diagnose the type of ulcer and determine the underlying cause, which is essential for effective treatment.
* Medication is crucial: Treatment for ulcers often involves medication that can only be prescribed by a vet. Self-treating could be harmful.
* Other factors: Your dog's overall health, age, and other medical conditions are important factors in determining the best course of action.
Please contact your veterinarian immediately if you suspect your dog has ulcers. They are the only ones qualified to provide a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
