THE USE OF ANTIEMETICS AND APPETITE STIMULANTS IN DOGS AND CATS WITH CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE
Absztrakt
Effective management of gastrointestinal signs in dog and cat patients with chronic
kidney disease (CKD) is crucial, as addressing these symptoms not only enhances the quality
of life but also supports overall renal health and mitigates further complications associated
with the disease. Clinical manifestations such as nausea, vomiting, and anorexia are
frequently observed in patients suffering from chronic kidney disease. The International
Renal Interest Society recommends the treatment of suspected nausea with antiemetics and
the treatment of decreased appetite with appetite stimulants for small animal patients with
CKD.
