We've got the Kruuse one, find if you don't use it much the plastic sticks to each other and needs to be teased apart - very worried about ripping it!!

not if you use a very small amount of talc or french chalk they dont stick together - you dont need much at all and it can really make a difference - quick wipe off before you use it and no problems

the new BSAVA manual of Advanced vet nursing has a good chapter on nutrition in it inc. assisted feeding

in answer to your tube feeding question.

you practice has probably got a copy of a pretty hefty textbook called Small animal clinical nutrition, its green. that has a fab chapter on assisted feeding of all types.

or see if you can get hold of a copy of the nursing proceedings from this years BSAVA. there were some good lectures that covered assisted feeding and there was a masterclass on it.

there have been some articles in VNJ too if someone has back copies they can lend you.

the chapter in companion animal nutrition (Ackerman) is also really good and up to date.

failing all that - do a search for papers on science direct or pub med.

goodluck.

We have 2 of the Kruuse ones. They have been great. The small ones can fit a litter tray in for cats. Both fit easily into our kennels & we even have the really big one that could fit a labrador. Easy to clean & collapse.

I was going to also say you need to monitor how warm it gets, but it is generally great!

Thats the one we have, very good although the animals can get a little warm in the as there is no 'active' scavnening removed all the exhaled o2
