Furthermore, there is a lack of information on the specific nutritional status of these patients regarding the lipid profile that could relate them to the state of health/disease. This study evaluated differences in short-chain fatty acids and the total fatty acid profile of faeces and plasma as possible indicators of food-responsive enteropathy (FRE), as well as its relationship with body condition and the chronic enteropathy activity index. Changes in the long-chain fatty acid of plasma, and short-chain, branched and odd-chain fatty acids of faeces were detected in sick dogs, and high correlations were observed between some of these compounds and the existing calculated indices.spajournal articlehttps://doi.org/10.3390/ani12010089open accessshort-chain fatty acidsodd-chain fatty acidslong-chain fatty acidsdogfood-responsible enteropathygut healthNutrición y cuidado de los animales3109.06 Nutrición
