From what I've read online, it is 90% curable if you can manage to re-hydrate the cat and force feed him enough to stimulate his appetite again.<br /><br />A kind soul emailed me and told me to buy a kit to re-hydrate Graybee using an IV. We have been force feeding and watering him for days, and last night we gave him his first IV drip to re-hydrate. He did pretty well with it and we will do it for the next few days, at least. He is as of last night eating on his own and drinking some on his own. We are hoping that this will work for him. Thank you so much for your concern.<br />LindaThe Wool Cupboardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13771668556706791825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9093558729074854152.post-90593783780471245532012-05-16T19:07:30.877-05:002012-05-16T19:07:30.877-05:00I hate to tell you this, but this happened to our ...I hate to tell you this, but this happened to our dear little cat. She turned yellow, and stopped eating. It took several months, but she died because of it. Our vet told us that it was probably some type of liver problem, and there was no treatment or cure for cat liver ailments. They don't understand them very well. And by the time their skin turns yellow, it's too late anyway. I was heartbroken, especially because I had found her as an abandoned 2 week old kitten and had bottle fed her and litter trained her. She was so quiet and sweet. It was 2 years ago next month, and I still miss her. :-(<br /><br />PLEASE get him back to the vet as soon as you can, so he can intervene if at all possible! I will hope and pray that your sweet guy will be ok, that it's NOT serious like my Honey's was. You are in my thoughts!<br />LisaLisa Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06503171275586447924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9093558729074854152.post-71794165802578125542012-05-16T08:41:03.418-05:002012-05-16T08:41:03.418-05:00Thank you for your concern and comments...we conti...Thank you for your concern and comments...we continue to do our best to feed and water Graybee in hopes he will make a full recovery from feline hepatic lipidosis.The Wool Cupboardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13771668556706791825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9093558729074854152.post-5427652233602739242012-05-14T18:17:15.837-05:002012-05-14T18:17:15.837-05:00Seems a liver issue would have come up in the bloo...Seems a liver issue would have come up in the blood test.<br />I would call the vet and see if that was in the blood test they did.<br />I have not had that issue thank goodness with my cat.<br />Cathyacorn hollowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10503414190541111706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9093558729074854152.post-25601431400970824032012-05-14T17:48:29.045-05:002012-05-14T17:48:29.045-05:00Linda ~

We gave her subcutaneous injections of saline at home every other day. I can't say it was easy, but it was doable. We continued this for, I think, about nine months, and she seemed to still enjoy life and be her affectionate self. We continued this until the point where we thought she was feeling unwell much of the time and not enjoying life any more. <br /><br />I hope things go well for you and your pet.<br /><br />... janjanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03066375977524543633noreply@blogger.com
