We think our old chap has liver problems - he's lost loads of weight recently, and when I took him back to the vet after being fobbed off 6 weeks ago he had blood tests which showed thyroid normal, kidneys ok, but liver apparently at "350" when it should be in the tens. No idea what that means, vet rang me (at my request) to discuss, and rather than launch straight into invasive tests (biopsy after ultrasound) on a cat who's 16 and who is stressed out of his tree going to the vets, he agreed to prescribe a week's antibiotics in the hope that it's a liver infection which might therefore show an improvement in his next bloodtest at the end of next week.
What I'm worrying about is that, for the last 2 weeks no, the only thing the cat will eat is raw steak (have managed to negotiate him down from rump to casserole) and cooked, sliced breast of chicken (from M&S, naturally, not that Adsa stuff, turns his nose right up at that..!) Over the last few days he must have tucked away away at least 150g steak and 100g chicken each day. The vet said that pure protein was "ok" for cats as they're meant to be eating mainly meat, but is that quantity damaging to him? To be honest there's no much else I can do, as he refuses anything else, even tuna, but I'd just like to know I suppose.
Also, does anyone have any experience of treating liver problems?
