How to Feed A Cat With An Esophagostomy Tube

This is an instructional video on how to feed a cat via an esophagostomy tube. The cat in this video had all of her teeth extracted due to severe periodontal disease. We are able to feed, give water and medicate the cat easily while the mouth is healing. The esophagostomy tube is left in place for a minimum of 7 days and can be left for several weeks to months. The length of time the tube is left in place is dependent on when the cat starts eating on her own. Your cat will be able to eat while the esophagostomy tube is in place. We send home detailed instructions with owners on how to tube feed their cat and how to make the cat food liquid diet. We also created this video to help as a visual guide for clients and veterinarians on how to feed a cat with an esophagostomy tube. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us!
