Abstract

Feline inflammatory bowel disease (FIBD) is characterized by persistent gastrointestinal signs, histologic evidence of mucosal inflammation, and responsiveness to immunotherapeutic intervention. Since a concise and comprehensive review of IBD has been recently presented (Jergens 1999), the purpose of this overview is to provide current perspectives on FIBD, and strategies for dealing with patients that fail to respond to routine medical management.
