Abstract:
Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is a functional diagnosis referring to clinical manifestations from small intestinal mass loss. SBS primarily results from extensive surgical resection in veterinary patients. Clinical signs often include diarrhea and weight loss. Pathophysiological mechanisms involve alterations in nutrient absorption and gastrointestinal motility. Effective management focuses on nutritional assessment, individualized dietary modifications, and pharmacologic interventions to address malnutrition and motility disorders.
