What can cause dysbiosis?
The main causes of dysbiosis in companion animals include:
- Antibiotic treatment
- Intestinal pathogens
- Dietary indiscretion (e.g. scavenging)
- Sudden change of diet
- Prolonged fasting
- Stress (e.g. travel, shows and kennels)
- Life-stage (e.g. weaning and old age)
The most common symptom associated with dysbiosis is diarrhoea.
