President Feline Veterinary Medical Association/Faithful Friends Veterinary Clinic & Cat Specialty Center
In this session we will continue our discussion of nutritional support for the inappetent cat. We will discuss how to implement assisted feeding, integrating some case examples of when a practitioner should consider implementing assisted feeding, and share the approach and success with enteral feeding for the general practitioner. Anyone who cares for cats can learn to place a feeding tube and elevate their feline medicine techniques. We will specifically address why enteral nutrition is essential for sick cats, the indications for a nasoesophageal vs esophagostomy tube, and how to safely place an enteral feeding tube in general practice.
