1. First, you need to use hepatoprotective and gallbladder-protective drugs for treatment: Jaundice is caused by elevated bilirubin caused by liver disease, so cats need to be treated with liver-protective and gallbladder-protective drugs.

2. Then conduct a routine blood test to determine whether there is inflammation in the body. If there is inflammation, anti-inflammatory drugs need to be given.

3. Finally, drugs must be used to replenish the energy of the cat: Since cats will lose their appetite after suffering from jaundice, it is necessary to adjust the electrolyte balance and replenish energy through infusion. At the same time, after cats lose their appetite, they need to install a nasogastric tube for a small amount of feeding. Generally, it takes about 5-7 days of treatment before the cat’s symptoms will be relieved. When the cat has the desire to eat food, the owner can feed the cat some high-energy nutrients that nourish the blood and liver.

Causes of cat jaundice:

1. Cat liver diseases, such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, poisoning, etc.

2. Cats have gallbladder diseases, such as cholecystitis, bile duct obstruction, bile duct rupture, etc.

3. Cats infected with blood parasites such as Babesia can cause red blood cells to be destroyed and cause jaundice.
