Dysbiosis, Gut Microbiome, Inflammation
Jan Suchodolski, MedVet, DrVetMed, PhD, AGAF, DACVM
Chronic enteropathy in dogs and cats is characterized by overlapping unspecific features that often result from persistent dysbiosis and irreversible changes in intestinal function. Learn why different patients respond differently to therapy.

Gut Health, Immunity
Alison Manchester, DVM, MS, DACVIM (SAIM)
Chronic enteropathy in dogs is a common clinical problem with a poorly understood pathogenesis. Learn how transcriptomic studies are providing new insights into the mechanisms that contribute to clinical signs of chronic enteropathy.

Gut Health, Gut Microbiome, Immunity, Nutrition
Katie Tolbert, DVM, PhD, DACVIM (SAIM, Nutrition)
Epithelial barrier dysfunction, oxidant injury, and inflammation are common to both atopic dermatitis and chronic inflammatory enteropathy in dogs. These shared features are attractive targets for nutritional approaches to patient management.
