COMPARISON OF MICROBIOLOGICAL, HISTOLOGICAL, AND IMMUNOMODULATORY PARAMETERS IN RESPONSE TO TREATMENT WITH EITHER COMBINATION THERAPY WITH PREDNISONE AND METRONIDAZOLE OR PROBIOTIC VSL#3 STRAINS IN DOGS WITH IDIOPATHIC INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE.

Comparison of microbiological, histological, and immunomodulatory parameters in response to treatment with either combination therapy with prednisone and metronidazole or probiotic VSL#3 strains in dogs with idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease.

BACKGROUND: Idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a common chronic enteropathy in dogs.There are no published studies regarding the use of probiotics in the treatment of canine IBD.The objectives were to compare responses to treatment with either combination therapy (prednisone and metronidazole) or probiotic strains (VSL#3) in dogs with I
