One of the most respected voices in veterinary internal medicine, Prof. Dr. Michael Lappin, was among the headline speakers at the Klivet Spring Congress 2025 in İstanbul. Invited as a distinguished guest, Dr. Lappin shared decades of clinical insight with Turkiye’s veterinary community, offering in-depth sessions on gastrointestinal diseases, with a focus on chronic diarrhea, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and lymphoma.
In his congress presentations, Prof. Lappin emphasized the critical importance of differential diagnosis in managing diarrhea cases — a common but complex symptom in feline and canine medicine. He shared practical strategies for distinguishing between causes such as infections, dietary issues, and immune-mediated disorders. A key focus was on the often-challenging task of differentiating IBD from intestinal lymphoma, two conditions that can present with overlapping clinical signs but require vastly different approaches.
Beyond diagnosis, Prof. Lappin discussed the evolving role of prebiotics, probiotics, and synbiotics in managing chronic gastrointestinal conditions. These therapeutic tools, once seen as supplementary, are now becoming more central in treatment plans. He underlined their value in restoring gut balance, reducing inflammation, and supporting long-term gut health in both dogs and cats.
In a special interview with The Animal Economics, Prof. Lappin reflected on the current state of gastrointestinal veterinary medicine, offered guidance on interpreting chronic diarrhea cases, and shared his impressions of the Klivet Congress. He praised the scientific quality of the event and the enthusiasm of Turkiye’s veterinary professionals.
