Feeding tubes are a life-saving part of patient management when pets are unable to eat and medical management has not been effective. Here we see Baloo with an oesophagostomy tube placed under general anaesthesia on the left side of the neck. These tubes are comfortable for the pet, relatively quick and easy to place and remove, and have a bore size that is easy for liquid critical-care diets to move down. Owners can readily use them at home too, which means the pet can often be managed at home which helps their recovery. 😽👩⚕️👏🏻
