Chronic Enteropathy

Overview:
Chronic enteropathy (CE) is a common yet challenging condition in companion animals, presenting as persistent gastrointestinal signs such as diarrhea, vomiting, and weight loss. This CPD session will equip first-opinion veterinarians with the tools to confidently recognize, diagnose, and manage CE, including differentiation of food-responsive, antibiotic-responsive, and steroid-responsive enteropathies.

Learning Objectives:
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• Recognize clinical signs suggestive of chronic enteropathy and differentiate from other gastrointestinal disorders.
• Implement an effective diagnostic workup, including laboratory testing, imaging, and when to consider referral for endoscopy and biopsy.
• Develop practical, evidence-based management strategies, including dietary modification.
• Understand prognostic indicators and communicate effectively with pet owners regarding expectations and outcomes.
