About this Lecture
This hour-long educational presentation will explore the pathophysiology of negative nutritional events in stressed, diseased, or injured cats and dogs. The lecture will reference multiple scientific studies to examine the relationship between caloric intake and outcomes in hospitalised patients.
The session will also cover methods for initiating feeding in hospitalised animals, long-term nutritional management, and available feeding options. Key topics will include feeding protocols, calculations for determining resting energy requirements, refeeding syndrome, feeding tube types and complications, and patient monitoring.
A case study of a canine patient with Diabetic Ketoacidosis will be presented to illustrate the practical application of these concepts.
