Pylorusstenose · Congenital pyloric stenosis · Magenpförtnerverengung · Pyloric outflow obstruction · Chronic hypertrophic pyloric gastropathy
Pyloric stenosis is a narrowing of the pylorus, which is the muscular valve that regulates the passage of food from the stomach into the small intestine. This narrowing obstructs the digestive system by preventing food from entering the intestines normally. It is typically a congenital condition, meaning dogs are born with it.
Symptoms usually become apparent in young puppies during the transition to solid food. Owners will typically notice forceful, projectile vomiting shortly after meals, along with a failure to gain weight.
While mild cases are sometimes managed with dietary changes, a one-time surgery to widen the stomach opening is usually required to resolve the issue. This surgical treatment typically costs between 1,500 and 4,000 EUR and generally allows the dog to live a normal, symptom-free life.
