Diarrhea, Gut Microbiome, Microbiome
Julien Dandrieux, BSc, DrMedVet, PhD, DACVIM (SAIM), MRCVS
What is the evidence for antibiotic-responsive enteropathy and does it exist in dogs and cats? Dr. Julien Dandrieux addresses those questions.
30-60 minutes
Diagnostic Evaluation, Gut Microbiome, Microbiome
Jan Suchodolski, MedVet, DrVetMed, PhD, AGAF, DACVM
Learn how dysbiosis is defined, how to evaluate intestinal dysbiosis using the dysbiosis index, and how to interpret the results obtained during acute and chronic conditions.

Diarrhea, Gut Microbiome, Microbiome
Jan Suchodolski, MedVet, DrVetMed, PhD, AGAF, DACVM
New findings show overgrowth of enteropathogens is often secondary to intestinal dysbiosis, suggesting a change in treatment strategies may be necessary.
30-60 minutes
Fecal Microbiota Transplantation, Gut Microbiome, Microbiome
Jenessa Winston, DVM, PhD, DACVIM (SAIM)
An introduction to microbiome medicine and fecal microbiota transplantation in companion animals, including a review of guidelines for clinical veterinary practice.

Gut Microbiome, Microbiome
Fabio Procoli, DMV, MVetMed, DACVIM, DECVIM-CA (Internal Medicine), MRCVS
Real clinical cases are used to demonstrate how the intestinal microbiome impacts development of common GI disorders in cats and how to manage intestinal dysbiosis.
30-60 minutes
Diagnostic Evaluation, Gut Microbiome
Jan Suchodolski, MedVet, DrVetMed, PhD, AGAF, DACVM
Discover how no single test allows proper assessment of the gut microbiota and its function and why a combination of molecular tools, with an emphasis on the gut dysbiosis index, is needed for case management.
