This study evaluated the effect of supplementation with canine-derived probiotic Bifidobacterium animalis strain AHC7 (lams Prostora, Procter & Gamble Pet Care) on the resolution rate of acute idiopathic diarrhea in dogs randomly assigned to receive a placebo (n=18) or the probiotic (n=13). Nutritional management with the probiotic fed at 2 x 10(10) CFU/day significantly reduced the time to resolution (3.9 +/- 2.3 versus 6.6 +/- 2.7 days; P < .01) and reduced the percentage of dogs that were administered metronidazole (38.5% versus 50.0%) compared with placebo. Probiotic B. animalis AHC7 may provide veterinarians another tool for management of acute diarrhea in dogs.
本研究评估了补充犬源益生菌动物双歧杆菌AHC7株(兰氏普罗斯托拉,宝洁宠物护理公司)对随机分配接受安慰剂(n = 18)或益生菌(n = 13)的犬急性特发性腹泻治愈率的影响。以每天2×10(10) CFU的剂量喂食益生菌的营养管理显著缩短了腹泻治愈时间(3.9±2.3天对6.6±2.7天;P <.01),并降低了使用甲硝唑的犬的比例(38.5%对50.0%)。与安慰剂相比,益生菌动物双歧杆菌AHC7株可能为兽医治疗犬急性腹泻提供另一种手段。
