Wow, I will have to remember that in case, God forbid, this happens to one of my bunch again.  Thanks!

We also turned Goliath around from liver failure... the vet said he was sending him home to die that there was nothing he could do.  He said he was one of the worst cases he had seen (Goliath was almost completely yellow).  We fed Goliath every 2 hours for almost 2 months... he got SamE (or the veterinary equiv. is Zentonil) and I SWEAR SWEAR SWEAR by that stuff... I have seen SamE (100mg - it's time release so you can't cut a larger size) completely cure liver failure.   Pat Lamoretti is on this group... and Goliath is one of her rescues... so she can tell you he was almost feral... and now after coming back from near death is a big teddy bear... so don't give up... feed small amounts OFTEN... I fed baby food because he couldn't keep anything else down (make sure it has no garlic or onion powder) I mixed it with NutriCal to give more nutrients that he needed...and dosed SamE.  I set my alarm to get up all through the night... and to this day the vet still is amazed that Goliath not only survived, but is thriving...  There IS hope with the liver...

     Hi Yvonne,
    I hope it isn't hepatic lipidosis, the only thing that will reverse that is enough food.  The liver is one of the organs that definitely can heal itself, but if she is jaundice from not eating enough then food, more importantly enough food is the only way to save her.  Not saying this to scare you it is a fact and I've seen it enough to know it is very reversible, Buddie had this, hers was caught very early on and she was fine.

Lots of prayers for Peanut.  Make sure she is getting a can to a can and half of food a day if this is what she has.  And yes it can strike in just a day or two if a cat quits eating, especially if the cat is overweight to start with.

I'm adding her now, hope her blood work comes back with out any serious problems going on.
