Manage episode 415179111 series 3528419
This month Yaiza Gomez-Meijas is joined by Cecilia Villaverde to discuss feline nutrition. We are then joined by Kelly St Denis who interviews some of the authors of the 2024 ISFM and AAFP consensus guidelines on the long-term use of NSAIDs in cats.
Our first conversation between Yaiza and Cecilia features a discussion on feline nutrition, specifically protein requirements in cat diets. The conversation highlights the importance of animal tissue in a cat's diet due to essential nutrients and compares raw, homemade, and commercial food options.
Our next conversation delves into the 2024 ISFM and AAFP consensus guidelines on the long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in cats, highlighting considerations for chronic pain management and monitoring. Kelly St Denis is joined by Sam Taylor, Paulo Steagall, and Duncan Lascelles. The guidelines address identifying chronic pain, the use of NSAIDs in cats with comorbidities, and the importance of caregiver involvement in monitoring for side effects and signs of pain relief effectiveness.
