disease in cats.<\/h3>\n<p>Feline hepatic lipidosis consists of an accumulation of fat cells in the cat&#8217;s liver that prevents its normal function.<\/p>\n<p>A sudden loss of appetite or reduced caloric intake are the triggers but beware!<\/p>\n<p>There are primary causes why cats lose interest in food, and it is important to discover and resolve them before hepatic lipidosis develops and degenerates.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"Perch\u00e9-se-il-gatto-sta-a-digiuno-il-fegato-si-infarcisce-di-grasso-provocando-la-lipidosi-felina\">Why is it that if the cat is fasting, the liver becomes infilled with fat causing feline lipidosis?<\/h4>\n<p>When the cat does not eat and ingest enough protein, its body starts using fat stores to convert it into energy.<\/p>\n<p>Lipids are channeled to the liver.<\/p>\n<p>But this is where the problem begins, because cats&#8217; metabolism is not suited for this process: their liver is not structured for the transformation of fat into energy.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"I-sintomi-della-lipidosi-felina\">Symptoms of feline lipidosis<\/h4>\n<p>Most cats with lipidosis have a history of inappetence lasting 3 to 7 days, and weight loss of 25 to 40%.<\/p>\n<p>The most obvious symptoms of fatty liver syndrome in cats are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Anorexia<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Dehydration<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Nausea and hypersalivation<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Vomiting<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Weight loss<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In the later stages of the disease, lethargy, jaundice (yellow discoloration of the skin), further weight loss, and sometimes even seizures are noted.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"La-diagnosi-di-lipidosi-felina\">The diagnosis of feline lipidosis<\/h4>\n<p>Feline hepatic lipidosis is curable if diagnosed early.<\/p>\n<p>It only takes two weeks for the disease to develop irreversibly.<\/p>\n<p>Blood tests first reveal problems with liver function.<\/p>\n<p>An accurate diagnosis also involves a study of the cat&#8217;s medical history, eating habits, and a physical examination to quantify weight loss, ascertain muscle atrophy, and check for jaundice.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"Il-trattamento-e-la-cura\">Treatment and care<\/h4>\n<p>Cats suffering from advanced hepatic lipidosis with jaundice, seizures, or other metabolic problems should be admitted to a veterinary facility.<\/p>\n<p>They will need to receive <em>fluid therapy<\/em> to reduce dehydration status and help liver detoxification.<\/p>\n<p>Besides these shock treatments, <em>nutritional support<\/em> is the only treatment for this disease.<\/p>\n<p>The diet, called the Metabolic Balance Recovery Diet, is designed precisely to minimize stress on the liver.<\/p>\n<p>Four to six weeks are generally required for nutritional recovery.<\/p>\n<p>The cat will need to be force-fed until it begins voluntary food consumption on its own.<\/p>\n<p>If with the 5-7 days of nutrition the cat does not improve, a liver biopsy should be performed.<\/p>\n<p>So it&#8217;s a long road, but the good news is that your cat can recover, in most cases, all of its functions.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"La-prognosi\">Prognosis<\/h4>\n<p>A big problem with this disease is that cat owners, do not notice the symptoms until the cat is in a critical stage.<\/p>\n<p>When the direct cause of lipidosis is known, the chances of cure are greatly increased.<\/p>\n<p>If the <em>main cause of<\/em> lipidosis is unknown, the prognosis is less positive.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the most common causes that prevent a cat from eating due to pain are <em>dental problems<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Some causes of anorexia are sometimes <em>emotional<\/em>: the inclusion of a new animal in the family, for example.<\/p>\n<p>Lipidosis is found more in <em>obese cats<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>If your cat is fat, it&#8217;s a good idea for him to gradually lose the extra pounds and for you to feed him a balanced diet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you suspect your cat is suffering from feline lipidosis, you can have a complete checkup and the necessary clinical examinations at our
