Rich Description: When recovering from illness and injury the body requires high levels of energy and essential nutrients to support healing and recovery as well as maintaining a healthy immune system. Inadequate nutrition particularly during periods of illness results in reduced production of T lymphocytes and decreased effectiveness of other white blood cells. This causes suppression of the immune system leaving the body susceptible to infection and therefore increasing the risk of disease. Amino acids carbohydrates and energy are essential for tissue synthesis and repair meaning that without adequate nutrition pets with injuries or illness may have slower rates of recovery and healing. Nutrients from a balanced diet are also necessary to ensure that normal cellular functions take place. If deficiencies are present it can result in impaired metabolism of drugs by the liver reduced transport of drug molecules through the bloodstream and decreased blood flow to the kidneys. These changes can result in drugs being less effective or conversely increase the risk of overdose and side effects.
