Feline Nursing Care for the Hospitalized Patient
We can all agree that the hospital is not an ideal place for cats. We can often compromise with them for a visit; however hospitalization
is occasionally warranted. As cat advocates and caretakers, we can significantly improve this experience. Feline friendly handling,
pharmacologic intervention, and creativity decrease stress, improve healing and appetite, and often shorten the length of hospitalization.
We will discuss these tips and tricks for any hospitalized cat.
