Advances in Managing CKD-associated Anemia in Cats

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) in a cat can be difficult for the veterinary practitioner to treat, and for the pet owner, it is a disease that requires day-to-day management. One of CKD’s complications, nonregenerative anemia, often contributes to the death or euthanasia of an affected cat. In this VetFolio Voice podcast episode, Dr. Shelly Vaden joins host Dr. Cassi in a discussion about the first drug for the control of nonregenerative anemia associated with CKD in cats, Varenzin-CA1 (molidustat oral suspension). Learn about what this novel drug does, how it is used, and how to monitor the patient during its administration.
