## Resource

In episode 108 of the medical nursing podcast, we're looking at a set of diseases we see all too often - feline lower urinary tract diseases. Now I say diseases, plural, deliberately - because thinking of FLUTD as a spectrum of diseases, rather than a standalone condition itself, is one of the most important shifts we can make in how we approach it. I'm going to be bringing you the need-to-know information from the 2025 iCatCare consensus guidelines on the diagnosis and management of lower urinary tract diseases in cats, AND some really useful information from the 2024 AAFP intercat tension guidelines, because as you'll see, the two are far more connected than you might expect. Over the next half an hour or so, we'll discuss how and why FLUTD occurs, how to stabilise and support obstructed patients, how to nurse cats with lower urinary disease, and how we can do more to support these patients long-term, both in and out of the hospital. There's far more we can do with these patients than we might think, and by the end of this episode, you'll feel more confident managing these patients, and able to put more of your skills to use. iCatCare Lower Urinary Disease Guidelines: 📲 https://doi.org/10.1177/1098612X241309176 AAFP Intercat Tension Guidelines: 📲 https://doi.org/10.1177/1098612X241263465 --- Looking for medical nursing CPD? 📲 Get unlimited CPD inside the Library Club: http://vimn.thrivecart.com/libraryclub/ 📲 Snag a webinar from the on-demand library: https://www.veterinaryinternalmedicinenursing.com/veterinary-education-webinar-library --- More free ways to learn with me: 📲 Grab the show notes and references from today's episode: http://www.veterinaryinternalmedicinenursing.com/podcast 📲 Follow me on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/vetinternalmedicinenursing 🖥️…
