Uso de transplante de microbiota fecal em cães com diarreia crônica após parvovirose: Relato de dois casos.

Intestinal bacteria form a complex ecosystem and play an important role in the maintenance of host homeostasis. Serious interventions can sometimes lead to the degradation of this ecosystem, such as through disease and / or the use of antibiotics. This report aims to demonstrate the use of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (TMF) as an adjuvant therapy in two cases of chronic diarrhea refractory to conventional therapy in two canines under one year old. After having presented hemorrhagic gastroenteritis secondary to parvovirus, despite clinical improvement and discharge, both remained with soft stools and difficulty in gaining weight. Were treated with four antimicrobials without improvement, diarrhea ceased after treatments with TMF. It is concluded that, as in other species, TMF may have assisted in the resolution of clinical signs of the patient and may be used as adjuvant in conventional supportive therapy in the treatment of chronic diarrhea in dogs.
