Feline Quality of Life and Palliative Care

Behaviour & Welfare | Veterinary Nursing | 56 mins

Monitoring quality of life in our feline patients not only helps us to monitor treatment plans and welfare, but it also helps owners to understand the impact of health status on their pets. Having end of life discussions with owners, having sensitive communication styles, and using a contextualised care approach, end of life care plans can be utilised to ensure we are doing the best for our owners and patients during their pet’s end of life.
