We will re-discover definitions and nomenclature of canine chronic enteropathy (and why they are changing), specifically why the use of antibiotics is no longer considered appropriate. This links well into a deep dive of how the understanding of CE pathogenesis has changed in recent years, looking at genetics, novel aspects of environmental influence and immunopathogenesis but also the intestinal microbiota. We will examine how this changes the way we assess and treat CE in dogs and why - maintaining an evidence-based approach in clinical practice.
