Ok, just read where Miles was diagnosed with
Cholangitis/cholangiohepatitis complex, found some info on it and
nutrition is part of the recovery/treatment process, what is the vet
doing for him as far as that goes?????
Cholangitis/cholangiohepatitis complex:
This is a number of related inflammatory & or infectious disorders of
the liver and/or the biliary tract. Cholangitis relates to infection
or inflammation of the bile duct & cholangiohepatitis is inflammation
of the biliary system & by extension the liver. Causes of infection
may often include FIP, Pancreatitis, IBD, bacterial infection,
parasitic infection (including toxoplasmosis
<http://www.cat-world.com.au/Toxoplasmosis.htm>).
*
Supportive care with IV or subcutaneous fluids & *nutritional
support*.
*
If the cause is bacterial, antibiotics will be prescribed.
*
Medication to control vomiting if necessary.
*
Corticosteroids may also be helpful in cats.
Do they think it is bacterial in nature?
