What are the potential biomarkers that should be considered in diagnosing and managing canine chronic inflammatory enteropathies?
Chronic inflammatory enteropathies in dogs are characterized by persistent or recurrent gastrointestinal signs that last for more than 3 weeks.
Despite unclear etiopathogenesis, it is considered that a genetic predisposition associated with environmental factors, such as dietary antigens and intestinal microbiota, might induce an abnormal immune response in the host.
The diagnosis of this condition requires full investigation in order to exclude all other possible causes.
