Hepatic lipidosis is a common cause of acquired liver disease in cats. It is a multifactorial syndrome and factors such as anorexia, stress and concurrent disease are associated with the development of the condition. The veterinary nurse is heavily involved in managing the hepatic lipidosis patient, from assistance with diagnostic imaging and investigations, to administering prescribed treatment, implementing a nutritional plan and day-to-day monitoring and nursing care. This webinar will discuss the pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of hepatic lipidosis, as well as the vital role of the veterinary nurse in caring for these patients.
