MM, Swampy had cholangiohep in 2006 and made a pretty good recovery within a year although his liver is still susceptible and we have to watch it with all the meds. Other than Zentonil, he took a 1/4 pill p.d of a human drug called Destolit for about 9 months and I am convinced it helped a lot. HTH but hope that Milly just has an infection and will be fine very quickly.

Awww poor Milly  :'(  It sounds as if everything is under control though, so hopefully she will perk up very soon and be back home with mummy before you know it!

Il try to remember to ask why re age Gillian. If nothing else shows up its seems that she has cholangiohepatitis which i read can be treated but they can suffer relapses from time to time.

My friend's cat had cholangio about 3 years ago, but recovered fully and hasnt had any relapses, so hope Milly will be fine too.  :hug: I don't think she eats a special diet. Milk Thistle is good for liver probs http://www.denes.co.uk/advice/fact_sheets/milk_thistle_plus_tablets.php

Thanks everyone  :thanks:

lots and lots of vibes coming Milly's way. Hope she gets better soon.  If her liver is a bit wobbly for a bit, you could ask the vet if s/he thinks Zentonil could help.
I have put that in my mind to ask the vet about  ;D

Hope its just the bile duct infection - sounds as though its treatable with abs?  :hug: wonder why its more common in cats that age?

I hope she can get away without a prescription diet, she is a funny eater in regards to having the same flavour/brand 2 meals in a row!

I never realised how much she stalked hung out watched me

 :thanks:
Hes says that kind of infection is more common in cats her age (approx 9.5 yrs), im glad he had scanned her before phoning me because i would have been feeling awful waiting and expecting the worst.

If she wasnt dehydrated she would probably be home but i decided to admit her as i dont want her crashing over the weekend, my vets now isnt bad but they dont have seperate wards, shes in a cat ward with my vets so nice and quiet. Hopefully her treatment will work quicker if its going straight in her, as it stands at the moment shes in for 24hrs   :(

Poor Milly and poor Milly's Mum  :hug: Really hope it's 'just' an infection, if the scan hasn't revealed anything untoward then that's the most likely cause right?

Give her a gentle :care: from me when she comes home, did the vet say when that might be?  :hug:

Milly has been off her food, she started at the weekend being extra fussy which is nothing that weird as she has times like that! Tues/weds she was only licking at her food  :(
I checked her mouth as theres been problems in there before but although not great iv seen worse, so i took her for a check up this morning. My vet agreed her mouth shouldnt be causing that much of a problem so had her in for bloods.
Iv had a call and her liver is the cause of the problems, her ALT is over 500  :shocked: he has scanned her and the good news is that he cant find any suspicious areas so im really hoping its not cancer. Shes dehydrated so has got to stay in and have ft and she has started abs as he thinks its a bile duct infection  :(

Its so strange without her here, for a small cat she makes her presence felt  :Luv2:
