In such situations, administration of proton pump inhibitors, H2 receptor antagonists or local antacids is routine and of undeniable utility. Our study was carried out on 12 clinical cases that presented to the veterinary clinic, dogs of different breeds and ages, both female and male, in which the therapeutic efficiency was monitored after the administration of drugs to combat acidity. After performing the treatment, healing occurred in 91.66% of cases, failure registering 8.33% of the total.
