Abstract
ABSTRACTPatients with aspiration pneumonia often require intensive nursing care. These cases can be challenging to nurse but utilise the extensive knowledge of experienced veterinary nurses and allow us to demonstrate our skills. The requirement for frequent monitoring, oxygen therapy, physiotherapy, management of hydration and nutritional management, in addition to the provision of environmental enrichment and other day-to-day care, make these cases extremely rewarding. This case study focuses on the inpatient care given to a patient with myasthenia gravis, megoesophagus and aspiration pneumonia. The care requirements are discussed and the level of care received by the patient is evaluated.
