Medical management of feline CKD is not just about optimizing numbers and identifying and treating complications of disease. Optimizing quality of life for patients and being sensitive to caregiver burden are also important components of disease management. In this session, we will explore these themes and what aspects may be most influential for both patient and caregiver.
Learning Objectives:
Understand caregiver burden and factors that may contribute
consider the importance of quality of life in CKD management
Appreciate modifiable factors that may heavily affect quality of life in cats with CKD
