In the January 2007 article titled "Fatal Fat". My Siamese cat had this fatty liver disease about 4 years ago. I ended up taking Cuddles to 4 different Veterinarians and finally on the 4th one, the veterinarian was able to diagnosed Cuddles with Fatty liver disease. Cuddles had drastically lost weight and wouldn’t want to get up to do anything include eating. His blue eyes turned yellow green because of the Jaundice. Now as for the treatments their are other options other than using painful surgical procedures. We ended up running a tube through Cuddles's nose and I had to feed him a canned liquid diet that looked like milk. The 8 oz cans ran about $7.00 each. I fed him every hour on the hour and through the night it was every two hours, just like you had a newborn baby. After about a week, Cuddles feeding time became every 30 minutes. Then at the end of the second week his feeding time became every 15 minutes. At the end of the third he wanted to eat on his own when I opened up one of his favorite canned cat food. He then ate maybe two or three bites at a time and we continued to feed him through his tube for the next two days as long as he was eating on his own, Cuddles Veterinarian decided to remove his tube. Now when we were feeding Cuddles through his tube he could be sound asleep and didn’t even know he was being fed. So it wasn't painful for Cuddles or stressful for us. All in all if you really care about your cat, you can treat this disease with excellent results, with little or no stress and maybe out by about $ 800.00 the story that you had printed is inaccurate and out of date. This procedure was done on Cuddles in January of 2003 and it is now the most common procedure for this disease. Cuddles Veterinarian is a graduate of Texas A&M.
