 Does anyone have any recommendations on what food to use when feeding a hospitalised renal failure cat vi naso-oesophageal tube? 
 We usually use RCW convalescence support, but would obviously prefer a more renal-friendly diet that is tubable</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 10</generator><item><title>Re: Tube feeding renal failure cats</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/4221?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 07 May 2009 22:56:48 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:5ef815a9-e624-496e-a51e-770f57648c5d</guid><dc:creator>james hunt</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I suppose you could always try mixing a phosphate binder in powder form with the convalescence diet?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m not an expert but I would suggest that in the short term it really doesn&amp;#39;t matter what you feed the cat.&amp;nbsp; The convalescence diet should be just fine.&amp;nbsp; The renal diet really only makes a difference in the long term and advice at CPD I&amp;#39;ve attended has always been to get the cat eating first and then, if possible, switch it to renal food.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hope that helps :)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
