Evaluation of the effectiveness of therapy for compensated intestinal dysbiosis in cats

Relevance . Despite the constant improvement of methods for correcting the intestinal microbiota, the occurrence of dysbacteriosis in various pathological processes not only does not decrease, but, on the contrary, increases. Therefore, the choice of the optimal therapeutic regimen for the correction of the lightest compensated degree of intestinal dysbiosis in cats, in our opinion, is an urgent direction of scientific research in veterinary medicine. Methods . Evaluation of the effectiveness of pharmacotherapy in cats with compensated intestinal dysbiosis (n = 15) is given. The animals were divided by the envelope method into two experimental groups: A 1 (n = 6) and A 2 (n = 9). The dynamics of individual hematological and immunological blood parameters of cats with grade 1 dysbiosis in the course of their therapy (before treatment, on days 7 and 14) is shown. Results . With compensated intestinal dysbiosis in cats, the appointment of the Purina Pro Plan dietary food shows a therapeutic effect, which leads to an overall clinical improvement as early as after 6.16±0.60 days. However, the use of the probiotic «Lactobifadol» against the background of diet therapy normalizes appetite after 2.39 days, an unpleasant odor from the oral cavity after 0.84 days, feces after 0.89 days, accelerates the overall clinical improvement of animals with intestinal dysbiosis of the 1st degree by 2.16 days earlier, when compared with the indicators of cats of the A 1 group.
