Abstract
Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM), which can include treatment with Chinese herbal medicine, is being used increasingly in Western medicine to treat a variety of diseases in dogs. With the increased interest in Chinese herbal medicines, evidence-based research to prove efficacy and safety of these traditional medicines is necessary. The objective of this research was to compare the effectiveness of the Chinese herbal medicine Da Xian Lian Wan (DXLW) to the Western pharmaceutical metronidazole in the treatment of stress colitis in sheltered/rescued dogs utilizing a randomized controlled study with a hypothesis that successful treatment with DXLW would not be less than metronidazole.
