its actually unknown what causes colitis, there are still studies on it. it may be a result of abnormal response from the body's immune system. genetics may play a role.

i personally think genetics is the main factor, they dont know what caused my crohn's, but my grandmother had it, so it makes sense.

Colitis is an inflammation of the colon or lower bowel and is a complicated condition with many possible causes. The most common causes of colitis are dietary indiscretions usually involving dairy products, and rich food sauces, fat or liver. Another common cause of colitis in nervous animals is stress, this is often seen when such animals are kenneled or separated from their owners for long periods of time. Highly digestible diets are recommended. These diets do not contain the allergens to which dogs are most likely to be sensitive. High fibre/low fat diets fall in this category.
