    liver issues in older cat

    It scared me when I got home because I read it was for dogs, but then I researched it and it said some vets will use if for cats. He told me to use only as needed and she should just need a quarter of a tab. She had her first one tonight; so far, so good..... that's what he used in the...

    I talked to the vet this morning. WE are going to try Ceremia (sp) tabs for her nausea, which started up again today. He also approved using the Milk Thistle. She does not have pancreatitis.

    liver issues in older cat

    Thank you. I have tried smaller meals and also warming her food in the microwave for a couple of seconds, just enough to take the chill off. And a "slow feeder" a little tray designed to make her eat slower. I will try that with the water and maybe the fasting if she starts vomiting again. I...

    liver issues in older cat

    Hyperthyroidism has been ruled out, that' is what I thought she had when we first took her to the vet, because the symptoms are so similar. And no, sorry. Ohio State University vet hospital is very expensive and has a reputation of being so. They need to make money just like anyone else, and...

    Yes, and we have ruled liver fluke out. . I am not quite sure why he has not suggested a liver supplement. I have personal experience with Milkthistle working for gall bladder, and working miraculously, actually. I believe Denamarin has Milkthistle extract in it. I left a message with him...

    I will ask about denamarin thank you. He thought of liver fluke first because feral cats can and do get it from eating frogs etc. She was living on her own for quite a while pretty successfully. As I said he has ruled out liver fluke but I will ask about the ultrasound.

    Yes I know about ohio state I live here. The last experience I had with them was not a good one..and they are outrageously expensive besides.

    liver issues in older cat

    I'll have to refer back to see if that's the anti nausea med the vet gave her. Whatever he gave her is what he felt he needed to use though. The main reason he wanted to do a biopsy was to positively rule out liver fluke, but he has treated her for it anyway, and the treatment made no...

    liver issues in older cat

    I don't know why you think we don't have a diagnosis. The vet has given her anti nausea medication; it is injectible and not something you do daily. She has plenty of appetite. The vet HAS done a full panel on her. i just wondered what others experiences were with cat liver issues. Liver...

    liver issues in older cat

    yes, bloodwork has been done several times. I don't want to put her through that kind of stress of taking her to a strange place...and we've spent a lot of money on her care already. . Our vet has offered to do a liver biopsy and I'm reluctant to do that because I think it might kill her. . We...

She's had problems lately relating to her liver and kidneys..huge weight loss and severe problems with vomiting. She's had vet care and he has her on scrip canned catfood and...
