Food for Cats with Cancer
29 Aug 2008
It is too much to expect that veterinary science would know much about cat cancer and dog cancer especially when despite extensive research very little is known about even human cancer. Till date no one knows exactly what causes cancer and how it can be prevented.
Feline cancer, like human cancer is not easy to detect in its early stages and once the disease has advanced, cat owners are left with no option but to watch helplessly. The most that can be done is to delay the ultimate and provide home care irrespective of whether the treatment option has been exercised or not.
Feeding your cat and meeting his basic nutrition needs is one of the primary aspects of a home health care program. The matter may appear easy but can be pretty challenging. Just like humans, cats are also likely to develop an aversion to specific foods or food in general due to alterations in the sense of smell and taste.
In addition, benign as well as malignant tumors can have a direct and indirect impact on food intake. While oral tumors make eating and swallowing difficult, gastrointestinal tumors may lead to blockages of food passages or inhibit efficient absorption of nutrients.
