Abstract

The article explores the nutritional management of cats with gastrointestinal disease, focusing on factors unique to feline nutrition and the dietary options for conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), constipation, and megacolon. Topics include dietary considerations for managing IBD, options like hydrolysed protein diets and single novel protein diets, and strategies for addressing constipation and megacolon through dietary fiber supplementation and, in severe cases, surgery.
