Nutritional support of hospitalised dogs and cats improves recovery from illness, reduces mortality, and improves responses to trauma and stress. The primary goal of nutritional support is to prevent use of tissue protein. This is accomplished by the provision of sufficient calories and dietary protein in optimal proportions. For nutritional support, calorie intake is adjusted according to the patient's metabolic rate so that the animal may be fed above or below its usual intake. Nutritional support should always be started gradually, no matter what the final calorie goal may be. For many sick dogs fed enterally, diets proved about 30% of calories from fat and at least 27% of calories from protein. Carbohydrates in nutritional support diets should not include maize, wheat or, especially, soy. Sick cats fed enterally should receive at least 30% of calories from both fat and protein.
住院犬猫的营养支持可促进疾病康复、降低死亡率，并改善对创伤和应激的反应。营养支持的主要目标是避免动用组织蛋白。这可通过按最佳比例提供足够的热量和膳食蛋白来实现。对于营养支持，热量摄入会根据患者的代谢率进行调整，以便动物的喂食量可以高于或低于其通常摄入量。无论最终的热量目标是多少，营养支持都应始终逐步开始。对于许多经肠道喂食的患病犬，日粮中约30%的热量来自脂肪，至少27%的热量来自蛋白质。营养支持日粮中的碳水化合物不应包括玉米、小麦，尤其是大豆。经肠道喂食的患病猫应从脂肪和蛋白质中获取至少30%的热量。
