    My cat was just diagnosed with Liver Failure

    My Vet told me to try some tuna juice in her food and even some tuna. He also told me to try fried chicken. Nothing worked last night. She ate about 1/4 of a teaspoon of the Hills c/d drowned in tuna juice around 5:30 last night but that was it. I tried chicken baby food, pureed pumpkin, tuna...

    My cat was just diagnosed with Liver Failure

    I will. Still waiting on his call but I'll make sure to let him know how interested she was in it. I'm willing to feed her anything if she'll eat it....Thank for that tip!

    My cat was just diagnosed with Liver Failure

    Punky perked up some so the Vet let me take her home last night to see if she would eat for me as a trial run. She spent the first part of the night under the bed and wasn't interested in food. She was tired and slept. She came out to pee (the vet gave her lots of IV fluids before her trip home)...

    My cat was just diagnosed with Liver Failure

    The vet called me this evening and Punky isn't doing great. She's become more jaundice and is vomiting more. He said that she's getting IV fluids around the clock, something for nausea and an antibiotic. He changed her food today to a kind that she doesn't have to swallow. It's absorbed into her...

    My cat was just diagnosed with Liver Failure

    Went to visit with Punky again today. She threw up last night. The vet wasn't in so I have to wait for him to call me later today. He wasn't in yesterday either and they closed their office at 2. This has me frustrated. I want someone with Punky as much as possible. Punky ate today while I was...

    My cat was just diagnosed with Liver Failure

    I was able to visit with Punky today around 10:30 this morning. She looked much better and had much more energy. They had stopped her fluid via IV because she had so much built up in her arm where the IV was. Said this was a good sign that she wasn't as dehydrated as we thought. She ate a little...

    My cat was just diagnosed with Liver Failure

    I've been reading that website all evening. Its got some great information. My vet never said Punky had Fatty Liver Syndrome. He said what we are looking at is liver failure and it's up to Punky if she gets better or not. Now, I've been seeing my vet for many years and I believe he's a caring...

    My cat was just diagnosed with Liver Failure

    Kismet looks just like Punky! even the little black spot on her nose! You went through so much. I know I'm cut out for all the hard work. I had a diabetic cat for about 6 years and she had to have a restricted diet and insulin shots twice a day. As soon as we got into a routine it was easy. I'm...

    My cat was just diagnosed with Liver Failure

    Ok- I've been to the message board and I've been reading. It doesn't sound good that she was already showing signs of Jaundice. But as I was thinking back over everything the last 2 weeks- the Friday before last (July 18th) I made a tuna salad ( I remember because I made it from a different...

    Help, My cat is not eating, drinking and is throwing up

    Thank you for your quick reply. I posted this as a new thread out of anxiousness. Sorry. I'm going by the vet on my lunch hour tomorrow to see her. The vet said that he'd probably have me try to feed her tomorrow while I"m there. I"m just so amazed at how sudden it could happen and sad that my...

    My cat was just diagnosed with Liver Failure

    Took my 8 yr old cat to the vet today and he's said that she has liver failure. Punky, my cat, has had a clean bill of health her whole life and has responded well to change as far as cats go. The first of June we moved into a new house and got a new dog. Punky wasn't pleased but I made sure...
