Webinar Talk Summary

This is an advanced level session for those with a special interest in gastro-intestinal disease, incorporating the latest research on this complex condition.

Protein losing enteropathy (PLE) is characterised by loss of proteins through the intestinal tract, with patients commonly presenting with severe weight loss, chronic diarrhoea, vomiting, lethargy, and fluid accumulation (oedema/ascites).

After exclusion of extra-intestinal causes of hypoalbuminaemia, some of the intestinal disease leading to PLE include lymphangiectesia, primary or secondary to chronic inflammatory enteropathy (CIE), neoplastic disease (lymphoma), infectious diseases (in particular fungal), and intestinal mucosal ulcerative damage.

In this webinar, we will discuss the current thinking for dogs with PLE, in particular addressing dietary options and new treatment considerations. We will also discuss when corticosteroids should be considered and at which posology.
