このコンテンツについて

In this episode of The Vet Nurse Hacker Podcast, we dive into one of the most underestimated — but absolutely life-saving — tools in your hospital arsenal: nutrition support for renal patients. From cranky kidneys to even crankier appetites, feeding hospitalised cats and dogs with renal disease can feel like a never-ending battle. But don’t worry — we’ve got your back (and your syringe). We break down:

The real difference between CKD and AKI (without the textbook snooze)
What’s actually happening in those sad little kidneys
Key nutritional goals for renal patients (and why they matter so much)
Practical feeding strategies: from hand-feeding to tube feeds
How to troubleshoot common issues like food refusal, nausea, and feeding aversions
And yes… why food left in a cage for 6 hours is a crime against cats everywhere

This episode is packed with gold for vet nurses, techs, and vets alike — whether you're new to renal patients or just looking to level up your feeding game. Because food isn’t just fuel — in renal care, it’s medicine. Takeaways:

Nutrition is essential for renal patients' recovery.
Nausea management is crucial before feeding.
Behavioural strategies can enhance feeding success.
Early intervention in feeding leads to better outcomes.
Quality of protein is more important than quantity.
Feeding should be tailored to individual patient needs.
Calm feeding environments improve appetite.
Monitor intake closely to prevent complications.
Use appetite stimulants to encourage eating.
Food is a critical part of the treatment plan.
