In this Day 2 panel discussion, veterinary experts answer audience questions on how microbiome science is being applied in clinical practice—especially in complex cases. The conversation is practical and grounded in clinical experience, connecting gastrointestinal and dermatological disease through a broader, whole-patient approach. 

Highlights include guidance on fecal microbiota transplantation—including safety considerations, owner communication, and repeat-treatment protocols—as well as use of the Dysbiosis Index to support disease staging and follow-up. The panel also discusses the relationship between barrier function and inflammation, parasite management (including persistent Giardia), and antibiotic stewardship in chronic enteropathy and atopic dermatitis. 

Watch the full discussion for insights into multimodal approaches that support outcomes, practicality, and responsible care.
