Faecal Microbiome Transplant

Advanced Microbiome Therapy for Chronic Gastrointestinal Disease

FMT is an emerging area of veterinary medicine focused on restoring a healthier gut microbiome in patients with chronic gastrointestinal disease and severe dysbiosis.

The gut microbiome plays a major role in:

• digestion

• immune regulation

• inflammation

• gut barrier health

• fermentation and nutrient metabolism

• skin and immune health

• overall gastrointestinal resilience

When this microbial ecosystem becomes severely disrupted, some patients continue to struggle despite standard treatment approaches.

FMT aims to help restore microbial diversity and ecosystem stability by transferring beneficial microorganisms from a carefully screened healthy donor into the intestinal tract of the recipient.

Conditions That May Benefit;

FMT may be considered in selected patients with:

• chronic diarrhoea

• chronic enteropathy / IBD

• severe dysbiosis

• recurrent gastrointestinal flare-ups

• post-antibiotic gastrointestinal dysfunction

• poor response to conventional GI therapy

• microbiome instability identified on testing

FMT is not a replacement for appropriate diagnostics, nutrition, or medical therapy.

Instead, it is used as part of a broader microbiome-focused treatment plan.

Donor Screening;

One of the most important parts of FMT is donor selection.

Not all “healthy” animals are suitable microbiome donors.

Our donor screening pathway is based on current veterinary FMT guidelines and includes:

• blood testing

• faecal parasite testing

• diarrhoea PCR screening

• FIV/FeLV testing in cats

• medication and antibiotic history review

• microbiome assessment

We aim to use young, clinically healthy donors with stable gastrointestinal health and minimal medication exposure.
