| Hello, my cat was diagosed with liver disease and has been given the tests and that was the outcome from the vet, he will be 1 year next month, he is being given antibotics and I`m feeding him though a tube every 3 hours, has anyone else gone though this? Any cmments would be greatly appreciated. Thank You for listening. |

| "Liver disease" is not a very specific diagnosis. There are literally hundreds of different things that can cause liver disease- hepatic lipidosis (which can be a result of ANY disease), infection (bacterial, fungal, protozoal, parasitic), portosystemic shunt, immune-mediated, FIP, FeLV, FIV, cancer, etc. Some problems are more manageable than others but the treatment varies a bit depending on the cause. Of course tube feeding is very important for any cat that's not eating on his own, so keep that up. Has your cat been tested for FeLV and FIV? Hopefully it's something simple that can be treated medically. Poor kitty. Keep him fed and loved- that's the most important thing right now. If you have a specific diagnosis maybe I can help a little more. |
