Hospice Care Services
There are certain situations where our veterinarians may conclude that there is no further treatment available that can improve your cat’s health. However, that does not always mean euthanasia is the only option. We are dedicated to working with you and your cat’s diagnosis to provide the best hospice care possible, which includes the following:
- Discussing your cat’s diagnosis, home life, and your family’s lifestyle to help come up with a balanced hospice care plan
- Management of incontinence
- Bandage and wound care
- Education about the end-stage disease process
- Pain recognition and treatment
- Subcutaneous fluids
- Supplementary nutrition
Our entire team will stay in close communication with you as your cat’s diagnosis progresses. This will ensure that your cat is continuously on a correct management regimen.
