Abstract
In the first part of this article the author tackles the main syndrome s which characterise feline gastroenterology. He details the different steps in the diagnostic process and the importance of complementary t ests. These can often be essential in defining if the digestive sympto ms observed are the result of a systemic infection or of a specific di gestive disease. In the second part, he describes, emphasising their s pecific nature, different disorders of the oesophagus, stomach and int estine of the cat.
