Gastric ulcer surgical or medical
One-year-old female Chihuahua. She was presented for dystocia yesterday. The RDVM did ovariohysterectomy – the puppy was dead. Today, presented in emergency following hematemesis, followed by sudden collapse. I found a blood clot and gastric ulcer on ultrasound, looks deep and very close to serosa. Following stabilisation, do you think we should excise it surgically?
