Show Notes

Cathy Lund, DVM sits down with Jessica Quimby, DVM, Ph.D., DACVIM in this episode for an enlightening discussion on utilizing gabapentin and factors to consider when managing kidney disease in cats. Their conversation first touches upon gabapentin recommended dosages, its side effects, and a few elements to consider when providing it to cats with other comorbidities. Later in the episode, Dr. Quimby takes listeners on an exploration of appetite regulation (and how a "picky eater" can signal dysregulation), its relation to quality of life, and why it's important to be proactive in anemia regulation. She also touches upon the importance of hydration for the CKD cat and options that can be utilized to help cats stay hydrated.
