| Chronic Diarrhea in Dogs – Retrospective Study in 136 Cases | At a Glance This 2017 retrospective study published in the Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine examined the underlying causes of chronic diarrhea in dogs and what factors influence recovery. By reviewing 136 clinical cases, the researchers aimed to clarify how often different conditions are responsible and which findings may help predict outcomes.
