Feeding tubes and cats

   If your veterinarian has told you that your cat needs to receive food in liquid form over the long-term, you may have wanted to know how this will be possible. Typically, there are three methods that are usually used to supply your cat with liquid food in the long-term. 

 

 A tube canelones can go directly into the stomach surgically. Your cat may also be fitted with a tube that goes through the side of their neck and into their esophagus. 


The third alternative is a nasogastric tube which runs through the  nasal passat into the esophagus. Through discussions with your vet, you will decide which is the best option for your cat. 


These options ensure that your cat can receive the nutrition that they need. However, you will always have to feed them liquid food while the tube is in position.
