Chronic Kidney Disease with Dr. Jessica Quimby

We’re thrilled to welcome back a repeat offender in the world of feline fame—Dr. Jessica Quimby, DVM, PhD, from The Ohio State University! Renowned for her expertise in feline chronic kidney disease, Dr. Quimby is here to guide us through an essential topic: improving quality of life for cats living with chronic disease.  
She delves into the concept of the spectrum of care, tailoring her approach to meet the unique needs of each cat and their human. Her philosophy? Sometimes, less is more—because care isn’t just about doing more; it’s about doing what’s right for the patient.  
An often-overlooked aspect of managing chronic disease is the caregiver burden. Dr. Quimby highlights the emotional and physical toll caregiving can take on pet owners. By customizing care plans and focusing on achievable goals, she ensures that both the cat and their human companions can navigate the journey with greater ease and compassion.
