Feline Fatty Liver Disease

"My cat was recently diagnosed with Fatty Liver Disease. Would your product Milk Thistle help to cure the disease?"

Fatty liver disease (also known as Hepatic lipidosis) is the accumulation of fat within the liver, and most cats that develop this disease are somewhat obese at the onset of the disease.

The average age for this disease to occur is 8 years and the symptoms are: anorexia; weight loss; vomiting; loss of muscle; and depression.

Cats with Fatty Liver disease need to be monitored by you and your vet for weight gain or loss, and for hydration status. Blood work should be done every 1-2 weeks. The diet therapy is the most important treatment of this disease and high protein, high calorie diet are highly remanded to meet the cat's energy needs.

Milk Thistle is designed to help proper function in the liver of your pet. Milk Thistle contain Flavanolignans Silybin, Silychristin, Silidianin which help to regenerate the ability of the liver and the formation of new, healthy cells.

Milk Thistle may provide more comfortable life to your pet, but to cure the disease, you need to be professionally guided by your vet.

Prevention: Try to prevent obesity and stress in your cat. They are much more sensitive than we know.
