In episode 107 of the Medical Nursing Podcast we're talking about probably the most common and frustrating nursing issue we encounter… but the most rewarding to fix - inappetent cats.

You know the ones - the ones who just won't eat despite you having tried almost every flavour, texture and variety of food, in every type of bowl, warmed, not warmed, where you've pretended to eat it first, and practically begged them. And being cats, they've just given you the 'look' and turned away.

I've been there, we've all been there, and we've all been frustrated by it. So what can we do about it? The evidence is clear that inappetence is something needing prompt and careful management, and we've now got clinical guidelines to help us with this.

So sit back, grab a cuppa and together we'll break down the 2022 ISFM Consensus Guidelines on Management of the Hospitalised Inappetent Cat, helping you get more of these patients eating, and use more of your skills while you're at it.
