Hi All, I just wanted to say thank you, and I'm so grateful for such a wonderful forum. Having all of the info really helped- I need to know they why! But despite all of the tests, all I conclude was that she was mildly anemic, but in liver failure. I should add, when her liver values were...

So I gave her milk thistle for about 6 months and she didn't have any improvement (progressively worse). I specifically bought a brand for cats, as I should, but then read reasearch that it was waaaaay too low of a dose. about a year ago I started giving her denamarin, a combo of milk thisle and...

I know it's probably too late for my response to be useful. No one could diagnose my cat's liver disease (we eventually though cholangeohepatitis, but it was likely small cell lypmhpoma). Anyway, the ONLY reason I almost put her down is that she wasn't eating. I almost had an NG tube placed. My...

Wow...I've never seen pupils that dilated before. These are the most common reasons for dilated pupils (i'm sure you probably went through most): Brain trauma Thiamine deficiency Retinal detachment Glaucoma Tumours (brain or insulinomas) Feline dysautonomia Hypocalcemia (low blood calcium)...

If she had been a stray (and she's not) the most likely answer would be parasites. They are very common in kittens but would need a way to get in. So if the mom doesn't go in and out, and they haven't been out, that's unlikely. Often the mom can't provide enough nutrition- also unlikely with...

Just wanted to share how precious she is. I have "prettier" pics, but this is her this week. <3

Hi All, I wanted to post a reply and also say thanks for all of your feedback and support. AS far as keeping her on absorbant pads, I have one down for her at the present time, but I am horrible with making "the decision", but I've promised myself I won't let her linger with a horrible quality...

I tried reducing it and increasing it with no luck. They did say it could cause weakness when I specifically said her legs were failing but she’s in a REALLY low dose abc it’s keeping her intensives in check. But it’s worth asking. Thanks I will. I fear it’s her end....but maybe not. Her...

I guess with regards to your question- it will affect her. Like she won’t be able to get to box. So sad. I just helped her walk and she ate a whole plate of chicken while I held her back legs up. Ugh.

No, and she used to have awful diarrhea when other issues weren’t under control. She used her litter box even with the lack of coordination until today. She peed on the flooor. But she doesn’t soul herself from paralysis; she just can’t walk. I’m guessinv it’s her end, but just hoped someone...

No, but thanks. It was very slow. Wobbbly, then off balance. Then a trip her or there, that falling. Now Perry much useless appendages. She was trying to drag herself. This has transpired over 6-8 weeks

Ok, so background, especially about why we aren’t immediately at the vet. My baby, my dearest 15 year old flower, has nearly died at lesser three times in three years. 1. Hyperthyroidism. In addition to 6 months of fluids, meds, and tons of rotisserie chicken to finally get her to eat, I was...

Don’t have much to add. I know I’m late. Prednisolone early is the only thing that made mine eat but the disease has been progressive. I’ve heard luejersn helps, but she she didn’t do well with side effects. Apparently that’s abnormal Lmk if you found anything useful!

Denamarin is Sam-E e and milk thistle. It’s great for liver protection and the animal form should be used. They’re js a liquid form of milk thistle called let well bring, but the dose is much Lower and not very buoavailsble, plus you’re missing the same wgicbjz clinically proven to produce...

I was wondering if you can tell me anything about your experience with Denamarin? I’ve been treating liver disease for a year, an d bilirubin is looking bleak, but I’ve added this for s week. I swear she looks a little lesss yellow, but she still looks rough. Any feedback about how well it...

Curious if you’re still around...did you have good luck with Denamarin?

I Interesting....they say no side effects...and I have several other confounds like my cat has liver disease, but she hadn’t had bowel issues lately. 1. Took her to the vet and brought her home with s feliwsy treated towel. Diarrhea for three days. 2. A couple regular BMs but sprayed...

I can answer the tx thing! Chlorambucil is sometimes given for agressive IBD as well, and since small cell is diffuse, they sometimes miss the diagnosis with biopsy. Since the treatments aren't very different, and IBD tends to be a precursor to small cell, I opted not to do this. I was crying...

Hi all, not sure if you'll read this since it's an old post, and I'm looking around, but I've been treating my car with pred only. We weren't sure if it was IBD only or small cell, and I wasn't willing to subject her to any more horror at the time since she was about to give up! But 4 months...

I assume you figured this all out by now! But pred can take 2-4 days to start to work, any should be evident by a week. The dose usually starts fairly high, so you'll prob end up with a big eater, possibly yelling to get up and feed him. He might be a little more active or moody, but usually...
