1.) Human enteral solutions are inappropriate for dog and cats.Why is this the case?

  1. They have no known calorie content
  2. They have not gone through FDA testing for dogs and cats
  3. They contain insufficient protein levels d. They are not sold in a pet store

2.) Refeeding syndrome is used to describe what phenomena?

  1. The movement of ions from the extracellular space to the intracellular space in response to feeding
  2. The movement of anions from the extracellular space to the intracellular space in response to rehydration
  3. The movement of cations from the intracellular space to the extracellular space in response to insulin
  4. The movement of anions from the intracellular space to the extracellular space in response to glucose

  1. Protein level
  2. The blood chemistry results
  3. The BCS
