Chronic Diarrhoea

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a chronic condition affecting the intestines. Most commonly, middle-aged and older dogs suffer from this disease. The symptoms include vomiting, diarrhoea, and weight loss. The underlying cause of this condition may be related to a food allergy and has to be treated with an elimination diet concurrently..
