Canine CE-IBD Assay

The Canine CE-IBD Assay
The Canine CE-IBD assay is a simple and affordable blood test that makes diagnosing and managing chronic enteropathy (inflammatory bowel disease) easier than ever before. Vomiting, diarrhea, and other gastrointestinal signs are among the most common reasons for a dog to require a visit to the veterinarian. The Canine CE-IBD assay reliably streamlines the otherwise demanding process of diagnosing chronic enteropathy.

What is the Canine CE-IBD Assay?
The Canine CE-IBD assay is a novel assay that provides key information for diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of chronic enteropathy. The assay uses a panel of three gastrointestinal biomarkers that help determine if a dog with chronic gastrointestinal (GI) signs is likely to have chronic enteropathy. The assay also offers direction when to provide additional diagnostics, including insight into which therapeutic diet to select for a dietary trial.
Clinical Indications for Canine CE-IBD Assay Use
Exclusion of all extra-intestinal causes of gastrointestinal signs (hypoadrenocorticism, renal disease, liver disease, pancreatitis, etc.).
Exclusion of all causes of primary gastrointestinal disease (bacterial, fungal, parasitic, neoplastic, and structural intestinal condition).
Hematochezia (Boxers and French Bulldogs) with additional samples for FISH/culture.
Cases where fungal, oomycetal, algal infections are suspected but cannot be confirmed.
When GI signs are present for AT LEAST 14 days.
Refractory to diet management, probiotics, and antibiotics.
All cases where loss of layering is present.
