Participants will learn about diseases that have been associated with alterations in the microbial composition of the canine gut and current methods of manipulating the microbiome.
Topics include the use of antibiotics and their consequence on the canine microbiome, the efficacy of probiotics, and an in-depth look at fecal microbiome transplants (FMT). We’ll review donor selection and screening; protocols for processing, storage, and delivery of FMT; risks and limitations; and common questions.
