Hi All, just wanted to give everybody an update. We have been diligently giving our kitty all the prescribed meds. It's been a few months now. We took her to a vet yesterday for a blood check and the results were great! Her ALT levels came down a lot! Her latest reading is a bit over 300...

Dana, did you do blood work on your kitty? Some time ago our kitty started throwing up food on a regular basis. First it was food and I thought she was just eating too fast. Then she was throwing up liquid stuff almost daily. We tried many new brands of food but nothing really helped. She also...

Here's a quick update on our kitty. The doctor diagnosed her with advanced liver fibrosis. She will be on 5 meds: prednisolone, ursodial, denamarin, vitamin E and colchicine forever. Apparently, there's nothing else we can do. We should expect a significant decline in her condition within a...

Thank you all for the support! We went to an internist yesterday. She said it was most likely chronic hepatitis or lymphoma. It was her educated guess based on the tests we've done so far. She also said that the ALT levels should have come down by now ( after 1.5 months of meds). She suggested...

Denice, For how long was your kitty on meds before the ALT levels started dropping? Caroline, Thank you for your advice. I had no idea that prednisolone could increase ALT levels. I will ask the vet about it. We were warned that it would take a long time to wean her off prednisolone. One...

Well, I have a discouraging update on our kitty. We just got back our blood test results and they are not good. ALT level is 1700, which is a significant increase over the past 3 weeks. She is still on the same meds and we have been diligent about giving them to her. The strangest thing is that...

I don't think we ran a pancreatitis test. I'll ask the vet about it. Denice, Did your cat's ALT levels go down eventually? What happened?

Hi, this is my first post here. I've been reading this forum since our cat started having liver issues and found lots of very helpful information. I hope you can help us. Our cat is 10 years old (brown tabby). Up until last year, we were feeding her Science Diet dry food and had no issues. Last...
