What if it's the bowls? I bought China made ceramics, but writing all over. Much print writing was all heavy metal based before moving to soy.

What if it's the water? I always gave them Alexapure water until a few years ago switched to Deer Park because my source water is so shit.

What if the food? I got a huge accidental purchase of $800 worth of cat food for $450 before of was delisted. Was a new product. New being unsafe or just fish causing liver damage from mercury?

I'm kind of leaning to the food. He never had fish before 12 years, 6 months later severe liver damage? It was only salmon.

I think that's the cause. I'll ask my vet and my friend who is a vet

Sadly my boycat died to chronic kidney failure about a year and a half ago. Vet told us it was genetic, still mad at the other vet who told us on his annual vet appointment about 3/4 year before when he lost 500g bodyweight, we should feed him some extra treats, instead of proposing a blood test.

i severely doubt any of the above will be the reason of this happening. (trust me i ran the whole scenario trough my brain for my own cat a lot of times)

Get atl east 2 vets to look at him, and change to special food asap. (dry and wet)

Give him a cuddle from his dutch uncle

Ty friend. I feel you and I know how sad it made you. I will be devestated when he is gone.

He won't eat any dry food, had two vets and a liver specialist look at his blood work for two years, he thinks it's acute hepatitis. He does a lot better with the meds, but feedimg is still hard.

Does your cat roam outside any? If so, have the vet check for exposure to antifreeze. You might have an asshole like this around; https://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northwest-news/2015/10/salem_man_gets_18_days_in_jail.html

Salmon shouldn't cause any issues with mercury, levels are pretty low. Unless it was raw, raw salmon isn't good for them and would probably end up causing problems.

Some tuna too, obviously both cooked. Much more salmon tho. FDA says 10 oz of fish, low mercury is fine. So for a 10lb cat, safe levels may be half to eight tenths of an oz based on body weight. Might have better livers, actually sending bloodwork to a feline liver researcher so will see if my guess holds water.
