Cat With High Liver Enzymes

psychomama · Feb 24, 2016

I have a cat that has been on Prozac for 6 years. His liver enzymes fluctuate from 101 to 158 on 3 blood tests this year. Do you think the Prozac would cause this? We are weaning him off now as he is 8 and I hope his night howling and anxiety are in check by now . We ll see.

i'm glad you are weaning him. Prozac can't be stopped cold turkey without bad side effects. Does your cat eat a grain-free diet?

Yes. He eats wet and a little Orijen dry. We are weaning over 2 weeks. I just think 6 years is a long time and as he gets older it is not good for him to be on this for his liver and kidneys.

Did the vet tell you how fast to wean him?

Yes doing it by the vet's recommendation. He s been getting 2 mls per day for the last 6 yrs,then we did 2 ml for 6 days a week for a month now we're doing 1 ml for a week then .5 ml for a week then we re done.
