Nasoesophageal feeding was provided for 7 days and was not associated with observed aspiration or nasal complications. Voluntary feeding subsequently resumed, and the animal was discharged after 2 months. The second anteater presented comatose following head trauma and received PPN after 4 days without voluntary food intake. Hyperglycemia occurred during administration and was managed by reducing the infusion rate. Voluntary food intake resumed on the second day of PPN. However, the animal died 15 days after admission from complications attributed to the head trauma.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Nasoesophageal feeding and PPN were technically feasible in these two hospitalised giant anteaters.
