Nursing a patient with feline urethral obstruction

O'Byrne, Evelyn; Mistry, Krishna

Abstract

Feline urethral obstruction is a potentially life-threatening condition. The maintenance and monitoring of the patient's electrolyte levels and fluid balance, and urinary catheter management, as well as an individual nursing care plan is vital for a positive patient outcome. The communication between the veterinary surgeon, veterinary nurse and client can create a well-rounded holistic approach to each patient.
