Learning that your cat has hepatic (liver) disease can be overwhelming. Among all the feline liver conditions, hepatic lipidosis, also known as fatty liver disease, is one of the most common and can be life-threatening.
In very simple terms, hepatic lipidosis occurs when too much fat is accumulated in the liver, compromising the liver’s ability to function properly. The liver plays an important role in metabolism, detoxification, and nutrient storage in the body. When cats, especially overweight ones, stop eating suddenly, their bodies start breaking down fat to get energy. Thus, the liver becomes overwhelmed by processing this quantity of fat, leading to liver dysfunction.
This is a condition that is mostly seen in middle-aged and/or overweight cats who go through periods of stress, illness, or appetite loss.
Hepatic lipidosis can progress quickly, making early recognition critical.
Common symptoms include:
Risk factors and causes:
If the cat shows any of those symptoms, it is crucial to seek veterinary attention as soon as possible. Early diagnosis through bloodwork, ultrasound, and sometimes liver biopsy can be beneficial to improve outcomes.
The diagnosis of hepatic lipidosis is made through a combination of clinical symptoms, laboratory tests, and imaging. For example, blood tests typically reveal elevated liver enzymes and bilirubin levels, while an ultrasound may show an enlarged and/or fatty liver.
Treatment involves intensive veterinary care that often includes:
Some scientific/clinical studies have shown that early nutritional intervention is very important for survival for cats with hepatic lipidosis, with success rates reaching over 80% when treatment begins immediately.
Cats with hepatic lipidosis need a high-protein, calorie-dense, easily digestible diet to restore energy and liver function. If you need support choosing the best diet for your cat with hepatic lipidosis, talk with a veterinary nutritionist; at NHV, we offer personalized nutritional guidance to help your pet recover safely.

In addition to your veterinary care, natural supplements can support the cat’s recovery and overall well-being. NHV supplements can provide gentle, plant-based formulations that complement the conventional treatment. Here are the suggested supplements for fatty liver disease in cats:
NHV Milk Thistle: It is rich in silymarin, a compound known for its antioxidant and hepatoprotective properties. Milk thistle supports the natural regeneration of liver cells, improving detoxification and reducing oxidative stress. Scientific research in both human and veterinary medicine supports its use for liver health maintenance.
NHV PetOmega 3: Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) can help reduce inflammation, support cellular repair, and improve metabolic function. In hepatic lipidosis, omega-3 supplementation may aid in reducing fat accumulation within the liver.
NHV Turmeric: The active component in NHV Turmeric has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. It supports liver health by reducing cellular damage and modulating inflammatory pathways, which can be beneficial in chronic liver disease management.
NHV Yucca: Yucca may help reduce inflammation and may assist the body in detoxification. It supports liver function and may help with appetite and digestion during recovery.
These supplements are formulated by veterinarians and herbalists to work synergistically with prescribed treatments, helping your cat’s liver heal naturally and safely. However, before adding any supplement to a pet’s diet, it is important to talk with a veterinarian first.
To prevent hepatic lipidosis, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and minimizing stress are essential. These guidelines can help with both:
It is important to remain aware that early intervention greatly affects outcomes, as most cats recover well when treated promptly and supported holistically.
Hepatic lipidosis in cats can be a serious condition; however, with prompt veterinary care and natural liver support, recovery is possible. If you suspect your cat may have liver issues, contact your veterinarian immediately.
