    Help! Liver Failure!

    Sorry for the late update. The blood results are back. His liver enzymes have gone down (alkp down to 500). Although the numbers are far from normal, he is on the right road. Tiki looks excellent and attitude-wise is back to himself. We have been taking him to the vet every day for prednisone...

    Help! Liver Failure!

    It is very, very difficult to open his mouth to get food in. The weird thing is that he was eating well at the vet, now he is currently not eating. I will wait a day to see if he is just not hungry or whatever, because he has been home for only about 5 hours. It is unlike him not to eat his...

About the cat (Tiki)- it is a rescued male shorthair, age unknown, but guessed about 4-6 years old. Problem- Over the past 2 months, the cat has lost weight. The cat had...
