There is a National Veterinary Conference going on right now in Moscow (well, online conference "thanks" to Covid), and they talked about sepsis treatment in pets, among other things. There are clear treatment protocols for sepsis, but these are more alternative/natural ideas that were mentioned.
Marik protocol was also mentioned in this thread. There is a critique of the study, since it wasn't replicated successfully in the randomized study (in humans). Here's the paper. But Marik says that in order for the protocol to have effect, it has to be administered together with the very first dose of antibiotic.
As you can see, right now there is a pretty good understanding that healthy microbiota plays a major role, and since sepsis treatments, and many other treatments disrupt the healthy bacteria population, so this should be taken into account. There was even one sepsis treatment paper described, where antibiotic treatment was temporarily discontinued in favor of fecal transplant, and with good results. The only caveat was, that prior to the transplant all the necessary testings were preformed.
And then there are also benefits of vagus nerve activation.
All in all, it isn't something particularly new, but was interesting to see that all these ideas are being practiced in veterinary medicine, and (finally) in Russia as well. And it is something to keep in mind in case your pets will ever have sepsis. But of course better never need this kind of information.
