So, with all of the gallbladder and liver issues Mika was experiencing she jaundiced. Her bilirubin levels were through the roof at times (12) but they're definitely trending downward. Her yellowing as started to fade some making me think that her bilirubin levels are still dropping (her next vet appointment is for the beginning of July to check her levels and blood work). The vet mentioned that sometimes it takes a long time for the yellowing to go away (which I wasn't sure if he meant after the bilirubin drops below 2 or it takes a long time for the bilirubin to drop below 2) and that it can sometimes "stain" the skin.
Anyone with experience in a jaundiced cat and how long it took for them to come out of it? Mika use to be yellow basically all over but now it's concentrated to her ears, above her eyes and a patch on her belly (all her nipples are yellow still too).
Before when levels were at 12
Right now (yellow of the belly not well shown because of lighting but if you squint you can kind of see it )
