📲 Get on the academy waitlist: https://www.veterinaryinternalmedicinenursing.com/academy — In this episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast we're chatting about another very common feline liver disease - inflammatory liver disease, or feline cholangitis/cholangiohepatitis syndrome.   This is actually the second most common liver disease we see in cats, and our patients can present with a range of signs from mild inappetence and pyrexia, to marked jaundice.   There's lots to think about when nursing them - including nutrition, managing nausea and pain, fluid therapy and preventing hypotension - and with this, comes lots of nursing skills we can put to good use.   So if you want to know exactly what cholangitis/cholagiohepatitis complex is, why it happens, the consequences for our patients, and the treatment and nursing care these patients benefit from, I've got you covered in today's episode. --- 📲 Resources mentioned in today's episode: WSAVA nutritional toolkit: https://wsava.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/WSAVA-Global-Nutrition-Toolkit-English.pdf Feline grimace scale: https://www.felinegrimacescale.com/ — 📲 Grab the show notes and references from today's episode: http://www.veterinaryinternalmedicinenursing.com/podcast --- 🖥️ Learn more about medical nursing: http://www.veterinaryinternalmedicinenursing.com --- 📲 Follow me on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/vetinternalmedicinenursing  --- 🎶 Get Free by Hotham https://soundcloud.com/hothammusic Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0 🎨 Cover art: @amyfarmerdigitalartist --- This podcast does not replace a veterinary surgeon's advice, and the content within it is provided for information only.
