Feline hepatic lipidosis
Feline hepatic lipidosis, also known as feline fatty liver syndrome, is one of the most common forms of liver disease of cats.〔(Welcome to Healthypet.com! )〕 The disease officially has no known cause, though obesity is known to increase the risk.〔(Feline Hepatic Lipidosis (Fatty Liver Syndrome) )〕 The disease begins when the cat stops eating from a loss of appetite, forcing the liver to convert body fat into usable energy. If this process continues for too long, fat builds up in the cells of the liver, and the disease has officially onset.〔 Prognosis varies depending on the stage of the disease, with both a high recovery and mortality rate at different stages. The disease is reversible through intense feeding.〔(Feline Hepatic Lipidosis—Fatty Liver Disease in Cats )〕
==Causes==
One of the reasons a cat may stop eating is separation anxiety and the emotional stress that results. Moving, gaining or losing housemates or pets, going on vacation or prolonged boarding are all common situations that pet owners report just prior to the onset of the disease, but it may develop without these conditions existing. Obesity is known to increase the risk of Feline Hepatic Lipidosis, however, there is no known "official" cause of the disease.〔 Severe anorexia usually precedes onset of the disease. When the cat has no energy from eating, the liver must metabolize fat deposits in the body into usable energy to sustain life. The cat liver however is poor at metabolizing fat, causing a build-up of fat in the cells of the liver, leading to fatty liver. At this point the disease can be diagnosed, however most commonly it will not be diagnosed and many animals are euthanized due to improper or no diagnosis
