My vet is stumped: feline liver disease.

Hi there,



I'm sorry to hear about your kitty's liver troubles—it's understandably worrying when a diagnosis isn't clear. Feline liver disease can be tricky, as it can stem from various issues like infections, toxins, or even fatty liver disease, especially if your cat stopped eating suddenly. Cats are sensitive, and their liver gets impacted fairly quickly in these situations.



While your vet is figuring out the specific cause, there are a few supportive steps you can try at home. Ensuring your cat eats even small amounts regularly can help keep their liver functioning. Offering slightly warmed, aromatic foods may entice them. Hydration is also key, so make sure your cat is drinking enough; you might consider adding a bit of water or low-sodium broth to their food.



Keep an eye out for signs like yellowing of the eyes or skin, extreme lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, or any sudden changes in behavior. If you notice any of these, it’s important to seek veterinary care promptly, as they can indicate a more severe condition.



For more tailored advice and a thorough evaluation, I recommend booking a video consult with one of our veterinarians here at Dial A Vet. We’d love to help you get to the bottom of this and support your kitty's health!
