Why cats can have problem Livers
Dr Brett Kirkland - BEACH ROAD VET CLINIC
antibiotics and a drug to reduce fever and booked
him in for a check in a few days.
Among the most common causes of feline liver disease is cholangiohepatitis, a condition marked by inflammation of both the liver and the biliary (gall bladder) system. This condition and hepatic lipidosis (fatty
liver) combined account for perhaps two-thirds of all
feline liver disorders treated at referring hospitals in
the USA. Strangely, we don’t see a lot of hepatic lipidosis in New Zealand. The typical signs of cholangeohepatitis include loss of appetite, fever, vomiting, and
jaundice (which can cause the white portions of the
eye to appear yellow in color).
The next day the patient had deteriorated with a
subnormal body temperature! This worries me a lot
more than fever. When patients are losing the battle
their circulation starts to fail and their peripheral
temperature drops. We admitted the cat for a drip,
radiographs and blood tests.
An eight year old neutered male siamese cat, came to
see me with a common problem this time of year, he
was lethargic and off his food. During the cats breeding season, which starts a month or two before christmas, all the entire male toms are active. This results
in frequent fights while they are on the prowl competing to mate with on season females. I'm not sure what
they make of desexed cats but they seem to be
caught up in the increased fighting activity as well.
His temperature was up from the normal 38.5 degrees
celsius to over 40.2 degrees. Typically a high temperature indicates an infection (although any widespread
tissue damage will do it.) The expected outcome with
fever is generally good - it is a normal response to tissue insult/damage by a fairly healthy cat. I prescribed
1. What is normal temperature for a cat?
a. 37 C b. 38.5 C c. 38.5 F
2. Cholangiohepatitis is not inflammation of
a. pancreas b. Liver c. gall bladder
3. Low temperature is a worse indication than fever.
true or false?
4. Cats are prone to Liver infections due to a large
duct opening.

First correct entry drawn wins a bag of Nutro Natural Choice pe ood The Radiographs identified focal gasy intestines,
which could be an indication of partial blockage.
The bloods were more useful in this case, indicating
septic inflammation (i.e. infection) and a problem in
the liver. While the possibilities include a tumour of
the liver, this pattern is common in cats due to a peculiarity of their anatomy. The bile duct and the pancreatic duct in cats shares a common opening into
the duodenum (first portion of the small intestine).
This results in a large opening, making cats prone
to infection gaining entry from the intestine, which is
normally full of bacteria!
A condition called
“Cholangiohepatitis” (which means inflamed liver
and gall bladder). With time these patients often become jaundiced so we were monitoring his progress
by watching to see if the whites of his eyes turned
yellow.
Having a definite diagnosis, I was able to revise the
treatment. We had to add another antibiotic and a
liver stimulant to the mix and treat for a longer period. To ensure this was working, we retested the liver in 6 days. The specific tests for the Liver were
much improved this time, near normal, which reassured us that he was getting better. 2 weeks later,
our patient had finished his tablets and was back to
his normal self.

It has been a busy start to 2016 at First Steps Papamoa. One of our fun learning events was a Road Safety Show by Dan the Puppet Man. The children enjoyed two shows; one in the infant and toddler room which was fun and interac ve and they got to meet all the road safe characters. The second show was for the pre‐schoolers where they learnt about; Holding hands with an adult when crossing the road, Not running across the road, To stop, look and listen, And, not to chase a er their ball if it rolls onto the road. We followed this learning up with some interes ng conversa ons with the children during mat me for the rest of the week. We can’t wait to learn more next me we meet with Dan the Puppet Man.
