Help!!! My 4year old kitty has fatty liver disease!!
Well the drama continues!! I was gonna update this in my original thread but I wasnt sure if anyone would see it??
Anyhow, I got Janie's lab results back. All her labs were normal except for the liver panel. The vet and I think something happened to stress her out and she stopped eating abruptly and in turn caused her liver to fail. And now she is probably very nauseated also. The vet has told me that I need to force feed her 1 and 1/4 can a day of EVO 95% because of its high protein content. I also have to give her Vitamin E 1 capsule a day (squeezed into the food of coarse). She said that the more calories the better and its imperative for her to get better which may take several weeks for her to recover. She gives her a 70% chance which I guess is alright but still scares the crap outta me. I got her from a rescue and she only weighed a pound:sad: I know some of you especially Sugarcatmomma are very well versed in cat issues so here are the lab values the vet gave me, she gave me more than these but I didnt write it all down in my state ![]() Her alk phos was 382 and her billirubin was very concerning at 5.4. The vet was pretty concerned about her but thinks with time and food she will be ok. I will have to bring her in next week to check labs again and possibly a short term feeding tube if the force feeding doesnt go well. Although I got her to eat a bit on her own and force fed her the rest which she did alright with. Anything else I should be doing?? Anything to help with the nausea?? She is on an appetite stimulant through tomorrow so the vet said that should help. Im sorta at a lost cause she is my baby and im scared of losing her!!! Thanks in advance, Becki |
