This webinar looks at how to put the 5 freedoms into practice for hospitalised patients. It covers access to food and water around fasting and illness, cage choice, temperature and bedding, TPRs, catheter checks and pain scoring with tools such as the Feline Grimace Scale, and how to house species apart and provide enrichment.
It then explains low-stress handling and how to reduce fear and distress in the clinic. It finishes with a case study of Joey, an anxious cat recovering from brown snake envenomation, working through how to meet each of his welfare needs.
Presented by Amanda Reeve at the 2023 ACVN Nurse Conference.
