I have a fat cat. She came to me nice and slim from the humane society, but her slothful life as a veterinary student's pet has made her look like a Christmas tree when she sits. We've been working on her weight. She's on a low-fat diet, and I encourage exercise with her toys, young people but I admit, if she got an upper respiratory infection and stopped eating, she would be a prime candidate for hepatic lipidosis. If I didn't know this, I might make the mistake many owners do. "Many owners young people do notice that their cat is not eating, but they think, 'That's all right, Tiger needs to lose a few pounds,' " says Dr. Gelberg. "And then after a week or two of no appetite, they start to get worried and finally bring their animal to the veterinarian. If they don't bring their pet in and the cat gets hepatic lipidosis, death is likely." "So what do you think a veterinarian can do for a cat with hepatic lipidosis?"
