If your cat has returned home from the hospital with an oesophagostomy (O-tube) for feeding, keeping the tube site clean and adequately maintained to prevent infections and ensure comfort is crucial.

If your cat shows mild inappetence (a reduced appetite), your vet may prescribe an appetite stimulant. These medications are particularly helpful for cats recovering at home, providing them with the extra support they need to start eating normally again.

When feeding your cat at home with an oesophagostomy tube, having everything prepared will make the process smoother for both you and your cat. You’ll already have food, a feeding plan and preparation instructions from our team.

In this guide, we’ll share some easy and practical tips to help encourage your cat to eat, whether you’re at home or in a hospital setting. Cats can be picky eaters, and losing their appetite can lead to health complications.

Chronic rhinitis is a term that means chronic (over 30 days is deemed chronic) inflammation of the nose. The main causes of chronic nasal discharge in cats are viral, bacterial or fungal infections, cancer and also inflammatory disease.

As nasal cancers progress, cats can sometimes develop problems with breathing. The cancer can also invade into nearby structures such as the brain or eyes causing neurological deterioration, blindness, or facial deformities.

Diabetes mellitus is a condition where your cat’s body is unable to properly regulate blood sugar levels due to a problem with the hormone insulin. Recognising the early signs of diabetes in your cat can make a big difference.
