Management of Nutrient Disorders in Cats and Dogs

Course information provided by the 2025-2026 Catalog.

While many subjects are covered in ANSC 4200, offered in the fall, there is limited time to address all of the current topics in cat and dog nutrition. This course provides a unique opportunity for students to explore disorders of nutrient metabolism in greater depth, either associated with specific breeds or resulting from mismanaged nutrition. Each week, a different disorder will be studied, covering a total of 13 disorders. These include but are not limited to: copper storage diseases, vitamin B12 malabsorption, obesity and type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidemia, lipoprotein lipase deficiency in cats, feline hepatic lipidosis, calcium and phosphorus imbalances, and urolithiasis.
