Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) provides vital nutritional support for small animals unable to eat. This cost-effective method has significantly improved care for critically ill pets, with excellent owner acceptance for long-term home use.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Small Animal Surgery
  • Critical Care Nutrition

Background:

  • Nutritional support is crucial for small animal patients unable to eat.
  • Advanced veterinary care requires effective methods for feeding compromised patients.
  • Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) has emerged as a key intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the role and efficacy of PEG in small animal critical care.
  • To assess the cost-effectiveness and owner acceptance of long-term PEG feeding.
  • To highlight the advancement in veterinary patient care through PEG.

Main Methods:

  • Adaptation of the percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) technique for canine and feline patients.
  • Implementation of PEG for nutritional support in non-eating animals.
