Gastro-Intestinal Disease in Dogs and Cats

Tutored by Adam Swallow BVSc DipECVIM-CA AFHEA MRCVS EBVS® European Veterinary Specialist in Small Animal Internal Medicine RCVS Recognised Specialist in Small Animal Medicine

Gastro-intestinal disease is a common cause for concern in clinical practice. The clinical signs can range from acute and dramatic presentations through to chronic, lower grade clinical signs. There is a wide variety of underlying conditions that can affect the gastro-intestinal tract and differentiating these is not always straightforward. With a logical and ordered approach though, a satisfying outcome is possible in many cases. In this course, we will discuss the clinical approach to gastro-intestinal disease in both cats and dogs and how best to manage the various underlying conditions. We will also discuss the role of the microbiome and how consideration of this is altering our understanding of many gastro-intestinal conditions in cats and dogs.
