Palliative treatment should commence immediately to make the animal more comfortable. Depending on severity of the trauma, animals should either be fed soft food, liquidised food or have a feeding tube (naso-oesophageal, oesophageal, ventricular or enteral) placed if normal feeding cannot be maintained. Anti-inflammatories, usually [[Steroids|corticosteriods]] (unless contraindicated due to surgery) should be immediately prescribed. Cats should be groomed daily as their quality of life will decrease if they are not able to keep themselves clean
