HE IS WELL AND HAPPY, HE IS NOW FREE OF FATTY LIVER DISEASE, AND HE IS BEGGING FOR FOOD, HE IS GETTING HIS MEDICINE DOWN, AND THANKS TO MILK THISTLE AND GOD, HE IS ALIVE. PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!!!! HE IS ALSO KNOWN AS "Miracle Cat" now! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/fatty-liver-disease#post-703503 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 17:24:35 +0000 Kiplings_cat 703503@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Chissus is right, Prince needs to eat. It is the only way to reverse the liver damage. Unfortunately, he probably won't want to eat because he feels sick. If he were my cat I would have a stomach tube placed (see the link in your previous thread), but I am comfortable around feeding tubes...syringe feeding is another option, but much more difficult.</p> <p><a>http://www.vet.cornell.edu/fhc/healthinfo/HepaticLipidosis.cfm</a>. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/fatty-liver-disease#post-703460 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 13:25:39 +0000 chissus 703460@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Prince MUST eat every day. Three cans of Fancy Feast a day. One in the morning, noon and night. If he won't eat, sprinkle a little FortaFlora on top. If he still won't eat then you must Assist Feed. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/fatty-liver-disease#post-703448 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 11:59:39 +0000 Mo 703448@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>As it seems my post doesn't show up (unless I am personally logged in and click on the topic) I'l post it again:</p> <p><a href="http://www.thecatsite.com/t/233610/fatty-liver-need-help" rel="nofollow">http://www.thecatsite.com/t/233610/fatty-liver-need-help</a> is a post in a different forum about someone whose cat had fatty liver disease.

I had a precious blue point siamese girl named Kerrie who had fatty liver disease. With careful management she lived a long and happy life! I had a very helpful vet who guided us every step of the way. Unfortunately there isn't much you can do between episodes. Prescription food is important. But not much else to do in the way of therapeutic intervention. Lots of love seems to be the key! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/fatty-liver-disease#post-703409 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 09:35:48 +0000 jeankit 703409@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Aw, scritches for little Prince.

He has Fatty Liver Disease, but its very minor, or just barely starting.<br /> I looked up home remedies, and I may have to spend some thick money. We have already spent at least $1,000 dollars or more on Prince, but he is very happy and so far.... "Healthy".... :/ If you have any, any, ANY ways to help him with fighting this liver disease, please come forward. We are desperate. </p>
