FECAVA Monday Read | Hemoperfusion for Veterinary Toxicities: IRIS Best Practice Guidelines

A new 2026 consensus guideline from the International Renal Interest Society (IRIS) Hemoperfusion Study Group provides practical recommendations for the use of hemoperfusion in veterinary patients with toxin exposures and life-threatening intoxications.

Hemoperfusion, or hemoadsorption, uses a sorbent-based device to remove toxins and other target substances from the blood. The guidelines highlight that early treatment may be particularly important, especially when a toxin is amenable to removal, is likely to cause organ injury, and no effective antidote is available.

At the same time, hemoperfusion is not recommended for every suspected exposure. In stable animals with mild, non-progressive signs and an uncertain intoxication, conventional supportive care is generally preferred.

The authors note that current evidence remains limited and inconsistent, so the recommendations rely heavily on expert consensus. As hemoadsorption technologies and clinical experience continue to develop, these guidelines are expected to evolve.

This review highlights the growing role of extracorporeal therapies in veterinary emergency and critical care and the importance of selecting the right patient, toxin and timing for treatment.

The Regulation (EU) 2026/1818 on the welfare and traceability of dogs and cats was published in the Official Journal of the EU on 10 August 2026, marking the completion of the legislative process.

The new Regulation introduces harmonised EU rules on:

➡️ Identification & registration of dogs and cats
➡️ Interoperable databases for improved traceability
➡️ Online selling & advertising
➡️ Welfare standards for breeding establishments
➡️ Requirements for breeders, including training and veterinary oversight

Together with FVE, FECAVA has prepared a leaflet, What’s New in the Regulation?, providing a quick overview of the key changes for veterinarians, breeders, establishments, and owners.

The Regulation is an important step towards better welfare, transparency and traceability, but effective implementation and practical guidance for frontline veterinarians will be essential. 🇪🇺

FECAVA Monday Read | Oral F***l Microbiota Transplantation in Dogs with Chronic Enteropathy

A recent 2026 study investigated whether oral f***l microbiota transplantation (FMT) could improve clinical outcomes, the f***l microbiome, metabolites, and intestinal inflammation in dogs with tylosin-responsive enteropathy (TRE).

The double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial found that oral FMT was feasible and safe, with measurable but variable changes in the f***l microbiome. However, although numerically fewer relapses were observed in the FMT group during treatment, the difference was not statistically significant. Relapses occurred in both groups during follow-up, and no sustained clinical benefit was demonstrated.

The study also found no significant treatment-related effects on intestinal permeability, with no significant differences between the FMT and placebo groups.

The authors conclude that the clinical response to oral FMT was limited and inconsistent, and that no clear treatment-specific effects could be demonstrated compared with placebo. The small sample size and limited statistical power mean that these findings should be considered preliminary. Further studies are needed to investigate factors such as dosing, treatment duration and route of administration.

This study highlights the complexity of microbiome-based therapies in canine chronic enteropathy and raises an important question: can FMT become a clinically useful treatment, or do we still need to better understand which patients, doses and administration routes are most likely to benefit?
