This comprehensive textbook provides evidence-based protocols and practical guidelines for implementing nutritional support strategies in hospitalized dogs and cats. Recognizing that proper nutrition is fundamental to recovery, wound healing, immune function, and overall patient outcomes, this text bridges the gap between nutritional theory and clinical application in the hospital setting. The book delivers detailed coverage of nutritional assessment techniques, calculation of energy requirements, selection of appropriate feeding methods, and management of nutrition in various disease states. From critically ill patients requiring intensive nutritional support to post-operative cases needing careful dietary management, this resource equips veterinary professionals with the knowledge to make informed decisions about when, what, and how to feed hospitalized patients.

Written by experts in veterinary clinical nutrition, this textbook combines current research findings with practical clinical experience to provide actionable guidance for daily practice. Whether managing patients with gastrointestinal disease, renal failure, hepatic disorders, or critical illness, veterinarians will find this resource indispensable for optimizing patient care and improving clinical outcomes through strategic nutritional intervention.
