Retrospective case series shows improved clinical response in dogs with chronic enteropathies, indicating bile acid treatment may help.

Improvement was seen in 16 out of 24 dogs after treatment with bile acid sequestrants for chronic enteropathies, supporting potential benefits.
Median CIBDAI decreased from 6.5 to 3 in responding dogs, marked by clinical improvements following bile acid sequestrant therapy.
Fecal bile acid concentrations and dysbiosis indices were assessed using liquid chromatography and showed significant differences among groups.
Findings suggest that bile acid sequestrants may be a useful adjunctive treatment for dogs with severe enteropathies needing corticosteroids.

Toresson et al. (2025) studied this question.
