Symptoms of cat fatty liver:
1. Early stage fatty liver does not have any symptoms. The cat still looks energetic, but its appetite is not good.
2. Cats no longer lick their fur, their eyes begin to have more feces, their third eyelids gradually appear, and some may drool and vomit frequently.
3. The cat still has poor appetite, begins to lose weight, has fewer or no defecation times (possibly constipation), and even the urine is seriously yellow.
4. If a cat has jaundice, open the cat’s mouth. The usually pink gums may start to turn yellow at this time, which is very critical. If it continues to worsen, the cat’s coagulation ability will deteriorate. Problems will arise, bruises will appear from stumbling casually. Cats with severe liver disease can also develop skin fragility syndrome and are prone to skin scarring.
Treatment of cat fatty liver:
1. Improve the cat’s diet and eat some feed with higher protein and calories.
2. If the affected cat has a normal appetite, there is no need to force feed it. If it continues to have no appetite, it can be fed easily digestible liquid food through a feeding tube. After the feeding tube is left in place, it needs to wear a collar to Protect feeding tubes.
3. If a cat suffers from dehydration symptoms, the animal’s hydration status and ion balance must be improved in a timely manner. Vomiting in cats often causes potassium loss, so pay attention to checking the blood potassium value.
