Parenteral Nutrition for Small Animals (for Nurses)

Nutrition is an integral part of every day functioning in healthy patients, and it plays an even larger role in our critical patients. Nutrition is required for energy production, protein synthesis and repair of damaged tissue. This webinar will focus specifically on parenteral nutrition in small animal patients, including partial and total parenteral nutrition.

Feeding senior pets (for nurses)

There is growing interest in health and wellbeing of elderly cats and dogs. Nutrition is one of the most important aspects of geriatric care to optimise quality of life and to minimise risks for disease. Although nutrient requirements may not be to different, mature animals cannot adapt as easily to changes in nutrient supply, oversupply or deficiencies as young animals can. Physiological changes associated with aging and chronic diseases, such as obesity, degenerative joint disease, renal disease, cardiac disease, periodontal disease, cognitive dysfunction or cancer may necessitate dietary adaptations.

Dietary support for gastrointestinal diseases

No other organ system is so immediately and profoundly affected by diet than the gastrointestinal tract, and there are few acute or chronic diseases where dietary manipulation is not an important component of the diagnostic approach and management. This webinar will provide an update on feeding trials as a diagnostic tool, how key dietary components interact with the GI tract, the impact of diet on the bacteriome, and will discuss the specific management of some key diseases including pancreatitis, constipation, and severe gastroenteritis.
