On this episode, we are welcoming pureANIMAL's new ambassador, Dr Matthew Muir who shares his knowledge and experience on microbiome restoration therapy. Topics discussed include: Dr Matthew explains what microbiome restoration therapy (MRT) entails. The impact of antibiotics on the microbiome. The benefits of faecal microbiome transplant (FMT) - more than just bacteria. Dr Muir explains how to screen donors for MRT. What to look for and what to avoid. How effective is MRT and how does it compare to supplementing with probiotics? Oral vs rectal microbiome therapy approaches - Matthew explains the difference and benefits of both methods. How to prepare the recipient to optimise the effects of FMT. Dr Matthew explains the indications for faecal microbiome transplant beyond dysbiosis. How to gauge if the MRT was successful? Which dogs are not good candidates for an FMT, and which cases should vets be cautious about? How to approach cases of MRT that require antibiotics?   Resources: https://vetmed.tamu.edu/gilab/service/assays/canine-microbiota-dysbiosis-index/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9534534/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9413255/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10017995/  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
