Unsure about next steps for FIV cat with elevated liver enzymes

Hello! I understand how concerning it can be when your cat has elevated liver enzymes, especially given their FIV status. Let's take a closer look at what might be happening.



Elevated liver enzymes can result from various issues, such as liver inflammation or infection, exposure to toxins, or even certain medications. Given that your cat has FIV, it's essential to be particularly vigilant, as their immune system is compromised, making them more susceptible to infections that could affect the liver.



At home, you can support your cat by ensuring they eat a balanced, nutritious diet to help maintain their overall health and hydration. Make sure they have plenty of fresh water available and try to minimize stress in their environment, as stress can exacerbate health issues.



Watch for signs like jaundice (a yellowing of the eyes or gums), vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, or significant weight loss. These could indicate that your cat's condition is worsening and would require prompt veterinary attention.



It’s always beneficial to have a complete picture of your pet's health, so I would recommend booking a video consult with one of our Dial A Vet professionals. They can guide you through your cat’s specific needs and help develop a tailored plan to keep your feline friend as healthy as possible.
