About The Webinar

Encouraging an anorexic cat to eat can be a challenge for the Veterinary Nurse. Establishing the cause of the anorexia, providing an environment that the cat feels safe and secure and offering the right food types in the right food containers are just some of the things the Veterinary nurse needs to consider. However what happens when a cat just won't eat? How long should you leave it before more intervention is necessary and what intervention is needed? These are just some of the aspects that will be discussed in this lecture along with how to select a suitable feeding tube, how to calculate a feeding plan and when is the right time to start and stop assisted feeding.
