A 7-year-old spayed female domestic shorthair cat was referred for chronic intermittent vomiting. Thefrequency of vomiting increased recently, and the cat showed anorexia at presentation. There were no remarkableabnormalities on the blood analyses and diagnostic imaging. However, the endoscopic examination revealed focalerosions of the gastric body mucosa, and subsequent multiple biopsies were obtained. Histopathologic examinationindicated mild to moderate lymphocytic gastritis. The vomiting was completely disappeared 7 days after theadministration with prednisolone (PDS). However, because of side effects caused by the long-term PDS administration,cyclosporine was added on the prescription with tapered dose of PDS. The dog’s condition improved with continuedcyclosporine treatment, and no further vomiting and anorexia episodes have been noted. This case describes thesuccessful management with administration of cyclosporine in feline lymphocytic gastritis.
