nature of the disease, i.e., with no known cause.<\/p>\n<p>Rather, it is now believed that a number of factors contribute to its origin.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"Alcuni-dei-fattori-principali\">Some of the main factors<\/h4>\n<p>Environmental factors, such as stress, exposure to toxins or allergens, may contribute to the pathogenesis of IBD.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to monitor the pet&#8217;s environment, as changes in diet, home environment, or exposure to new pathogens can significantly affect gut health.<\/p>\n<p>Diet quality and composition can also affect gut health and be a trigger for IBD.<\/p>\n<p>There is evidence to suggest a genetic predisposition to IBD in some breeds of dogs and cats.<\/p>\n<p>In dogs, breeds such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/clinicalaveterinaria.it\/en\/boxer-the-long-tongued-dog-dispenser-of-passionate-kisses\/\"><strong>Boxer<\/strong><\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/clinicalaveterinaria.it\/en\/french-bulldog-or-bouledogue-francais-whatever-this-bully-is-a-champion-of-sympathy\/\"><strong>French Bulldog<\/strong><\/a>, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/clinicalaveterinaria.it\/en\/the-german-shepherd-history-and-characteristics-of-the-breed\/\"><strong>German Shepherd<\/strong><\/a> are frequently reported.<\/p>\n<p>Among cats, the <a href=\"https:\/\/clinicalaveterinaria.it\/en\/the-siamese-cat-or-wichien-maat-the-moon-diamond\/\"><strong>Siamese<\/strong><\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/clinicalaveterinaria.it\/en\/maine-coon-cat-the-gentle-giant\/\"><strong>Maine Coon<\/strong><\/a> seem to be most predisposed.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"Quali-sono-i-sintomi-di-una-sospetta-IBD\">What are the symptoms of suspected IBD<\/h4>\n<p>Symptoms of IBD can vary depending on the severity of the disease and the location of inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract.<\/p>\n<p>The most common clinical signs include:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <em>Vomiting<\/em>: recurrent episodes of vomiting, which may be intermittent or persistent<br \/>&#8211; <em>Diarrhea<\/em>: may present with soft or bloody stools, sometimes accompanied by mucus<br \/>&#8211; <em>Weight loss<\/em>: even with normal appetite, animals with IBD may lose weight due to inadequate nutrient absorption.<br \/>&#8211; <em>Lethargy<\/em>: affected animals may show reduced energy and activity.<br \/>&#8211; <em>Bloated belly<\/em>: accumulation of gas in the intestines may cause abdominal distension.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"La-diagnosi-di-IBD-richiede-un-approccio-sistematico\">The diagnosis of IBD requires a systematic approach<\/h4>\n<p>Early diagnosis and a personalized treatment plan can make all the difference in controlling this complex condition.<\/p>\n<p>Blood, stool, and urine tests can help rule out other diseases and assess the animal&#8217;s nutritional status.<\/p>\n<p>An abdominal ultrasound is also useful to visualize the gastrointestinal tract and assess for abnormalities.<\/p>\n<p>In many cases, definitive diagnosis requires performing endoscopy to obtain intestinal tissue samples, which will then be analyzed histologically to confirm chronic inflammation.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"La-terapia-per-il-cane-e-per-il-gatto-affetti-da-IBD\">Therapy for the dog and cat with IBD<\/h4>\n<p>Treatment of IBD in dogs is generally multimodal and may include:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; An exclusion diet or hypoallergenic diet formulated to reduce intestinal inflammation and minimize adverse reactions to foods.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; medications In some cases, they may be necessary to control inflammation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Antibiotics may be useful to treat any secondary infections<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Probiotic supplementation can support gut flora and improve gastrointestinal health.<\/p>\n<p>Complications associated with IBD can include secondary infections, intestinal obstructions, and in rare cases, an increased risk of intestinal neoplasia.<\/p>\n<p>It is critical to closely monitor animals with IBD for early identification of any signs of health deterioration, such as persistent vomiting, bloody diarrhea, or significant weight loss.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To refer your dog or cat for a checkup, contact the veterinary doctors on our staff who are always available to you.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>We would also like to remind you that <a href=\"https:\/\/clinicalaveterinaria.it\/en\/\">Clinica La Veterinaria<\/a> is always open h24 every day including holidays and with First Aid service from 8 pm to 8 am.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4>For the joy of seeing them HAPPY<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dog and cat IBD: a chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract originating from a number of factors.
