Species<\/h3>\n

Cat<\/p>\n

Area of Study<\/h3>\n

Internal Medicine<\/p>\n

Purpose of Study<\/h3>\n

Microbial imbalances and disturbances in BA metabolism are linked in humans and dogs with chronic GI disease.<\/p>\n

We hypothesize that bacterial imbalances and abnormal BA profiles will also be observed in cats with chronic GI signs.<\/p>\n

The purpose of this study is to investigate serum and fecal bile acid (BA) profiles and their effects on gut bacteria in cats with chronic gastrointestinal (GI) disease.<\/p>\n

We want to investigate whether abnormal levels of BAs in the blood and stool are seen in cats with GI disease and whether treatment for their disorder will reduce GI signs and normalize gut bacteria and BA levels in their body.<\/p>\n

Eligibility<\/h3>\n

Cats with over three weeks diarrhea, vomiting, decrease appetite, and\/or weight loss symptoms.<\/p>\n
