Back to Episodes19 | How to give great care to your blocked bladder cats as a vet nurse
Description
In today's episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast, we're chatting about feline urethral obstructions, also known as the dreaded blocked bladder cat!
Feline urethral obstruction is a very treatable emergency condition, with survival rates above 90%.
However, it can be life-threatening, especially where that obstruction has been present for some time - with patients at risk of severe acute kidney injury, azotaemia, uraemia, hyperkalaemia and metabolic acidosis.
We also know that these patients benefit from a LOT of nursing care - which is exactly what we're getting into in this episode!
