    Purina Institute Microbiome Forum Round Table: Microbiome-Centric Management of Acute and Chronic Diarrhea in Dogs and Cats

    Jan Suchodolski, MedVet, DrVetMed, PhD, AGAF, DACVM

    Valerie Parker, DVM, DACVIM, DACVN

    Linda Toresson, DVM, PhD

    Joerg Steiner med.vet., Dr.med.vet., PhD, DACVIM-SAIM, DECVIM-CA, AGAF

    Stefan Unterer, riv.-Doz., Dr. med. vet., Dr. habil., DipECVIM-CA

    Our understanding of the gut microbiome is rapidly evolving, but is our case management of diarrhea evolving with it? In this roundtable discussion with Q&A, leading experts discuss key aspects of managing acute and chronic diarrhea in dogs and cats, with a focus on providing practical and evidence-based advice for veterinarians. Specific topics include methods for evaluating the presence of dysbiosis, conducting elimination diet trials, benefits of fiber and other dietary interventions, identifying when fecal microbiota transfer (FMT) is appropriate, and how to perform FMT when indicated.
