| Course Focus and Learning Objectives |
|
Malnutrition, cachexia, and frailty are common and unwelcome in canine and feline cancer patients. Appropriate and timely nutritional support can help slow the progression of the changes in appetite, body weight, muscling, activity, attitude, and cognitive function commonly seen in these patients. Feeding guidelines based on nutritional status, diet selection, appropriate supplements, tips, and suggestions to encourage cancer patients to eat are also discussed.
