Abstract

Diarrhea is considered a very common sign in the pet clinic, and the use of immunomodulatory nutrients in the treatment of this condition is considered a new therapeutic modality increasingly used by veterinarians. Dietary supplementation of probiotics, prebiotics, and L-glutamine has shown beneficial effects in the control and treatment of diarrhea in humans. Due to the few descriptions of the use of immunonutrients in the veterinary literature, this study aimed to report the case of a female Poodle dog, aged 13 years, with diarrhea, submitted to oral glutamine treatment for 5 days, which resulted in the complete remission of the diarrheal episode.
