Discover an exciting new perspective on canine atopic dermatitis as Dr. Ana Rostaher explores the powerful connection between the gut and skin. In this engaging presentation, she highlights how microbial diversity, early-life influences, and immune regulation shape allergic disease—and why traditional therapies alone may not be enough for many dogs.
Dr. Rostaher also shares promising research on fecal microbiota transplantation, a novel approach that demonstrated meaningful improvements in skin lesions, medication use, and quality of life for dogs with atopic dermatitis. This forward-thinking session offers fresh insight and emerging science that can help veterinary professionals elevate their approach to managing canine atopic dermatitis.
