About the webinar

Why understanding your patient’s poo is the future of medicine? Managing dysbiosis in the acute and chronic settings.

Did you know that for every cell in your body you have a microbe in your gut! More importantly the human, canine and feline microbiome is said to have the metabolic capacity equivalent to that of the liver. Dysbiosis (the imbalance of this microbiome) and its impact on our feline and canine patients is a huge and exciting current area of veterinary research. In this lecture, we will discover the conditions where dysbiosis is most important to understand. We will learn the many ways to manipulate the microbiome including the use of diet, fibre, probiotics, symbiotics and the ever-exciting world of fecal transplantation. Come with us as we discover the true power of poop!
You will be able to join the live webinar directly from this page.
