Plain-English summary
A dog with acute diarrhea may be experiencing frequent, watery stools, which can lead to dehydration and discomfort. Recent guidelines recommend using specific antibiotics and probiotics to help treat this condition effectively. These guidelines were developed by a group of experts who considered input from veterinarians and dog owners to ensure they are practical and helpful. Following these recommendations can help your dog recover more quickly from diarrhea and prevent further complications.

Abstract
Acute diarrhoea is a common presentation in dogs, and a common reason for antimicrobial prescription and nutraceutical use. This evidence-based guideline provides recommendations for antimicrobial and probiotic treatment of canine acute diarrhoea (CAD). A multidisciplinary panel developed the recommendations by adhering to the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) framework. The opinions of stakeholders (general veterinary practitioners and dog owners) were collected and incorporated to ensure the applicability of this guideline. Four strong recommendations informed by high certainty evidence, and three conditional recommendations informed by very low or low certainty evidence, were drafted by the panel, along with an ungraded section on diagnostic work-up of dogs with acute diarrhoea. The ENOVAT guidelines initiative encourages national or regional guideline makers to use the evidence presented in this document, and the supporting systematic review, to draft national or local guidance documents.
