Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tubes are an excellent means of providing nutritional support via the enteral route. Most problems with PEG tubes are associated with their maintenance. A low-profile feeding device has been developed for use in human beings to replace standard PEG tubes in situations in which long-term nutritional support is necessary. We adapted a low-profile feeding device for use in 2 dogs. The device offered the advantage of being easier to maintain than standard PEG tubes. It appeared to have been well tolerated. Its low-profile design is likely to result in few problems resulting from an animal chewing on the device or from accidental dislodgment. |
