Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a condition in which your dog's intestine or digestive tract becomes inflamed consistently. The continuing inflammation damages the lining of their digestive tract in a way that prevents food from being properly digested. Common signs include chronic (typically >4 weeks duration) vomiting, diarrhoea, reduced appetite, weight loss, flatulence or a rumbly tummy/abdominal discomfort. Any dog can have IBD, but there are some breeds that receive a diagnosis more than others, including: Weimaraner, Basenji, Soft-coated wheaten terriers, Irish setters, Yorkshire terriers, Rottweiler, German shepherd, Norweigian lundehund, Border collie, Boxer.
