Send us Fan Mail

What are the hidden risks of IV catheter complications in hospitalized cats, and how can we better manage them? Join us as we explore these critical questions with Dr. Kyle Granger, ECC resident at Colorado State University, who shares groundbreaking insights from his recent JAVMA article. Learn how smaller gauge catheters and greater body weights substantially elevate complication risks and why adopting human phlebitis grading scales could revolutionize veterinary catheter protocols. Discover the practical challenges veterinarians face when placing IV catheters in cats with difficult venous access and gain actionable advice on educating your staff to identify and manage these issues more effectively.
