  • Abstract / Overview:
  • The American College of Veterinary Nutrition recommends a three-step approach to patient assessment that includes assessment of patient factors, dietary factors, and feeding factors.  After the assessment phase, a nutritional treatment plan is developed and instituted, and serial monitoring and adjustment ensue (an iterative process).

    This chapter focuses on the nutritional management of feline disorders.
