Urethral blockage is an emergency situation in cats. Faced with an agonized pet in severe pain, this is a situation that demands urgent, correct treatment. Fortunately, with prompt veterinary care, the survival rate can approach nearly 100%! A vital part of this is good nursing care.
This course will take you through the process of nursing the blocked cat. We begin with his arrival at your practice, continue through the surgical intervention, and finish with returning the relieved cat to his equally relieved owners!
Course Objectives
• Triage and initial assessment of blocked patients
• Emergency treatment including fluid therapy and analgesia
• Cystocentesis and catheterisation techniques
• Acid base and cardiac abnormalities and their treatment
