Educational Overview
Liver Wellness and Jaundice Health
Why the liver matters
The liver is a vital detox and metabolic organ responsible for:
-
Filtering toxins and medications
-
Producing bile for fat digestion
-
Regulating blood sugar and hormones
-
Supporting immunity and nutrient storage
What is jaundice (icterus)?
Jaundice occurs when bilirubin builds up in the blood, causing yellowing of the gums, eyes, skin, or ears. It is a sign, not a disease.
Common causes of jaundice in pets
-
Pre-hepatic (before liver):
-
Hepatic (within liver):
-
Liver inflammation (hepatitis)
-
Toxins or medications drugs - over prescribed (all drugs affect the liver)
-
Infections, fatty liver (cats), cancer
-
Post-hepatic (after liver):
-
Bile duct obstruction
-
Gallbladder disease
Signs of liver stress or disease
-
Yellow gums, eyes, or skin
-
Lethargy, weakness
-
Loss of appetite, nausea
-
Vomiting or diarrhea
-
Dark urine, pale stools
-
Weight loss or bloating
-
Behaviour changes (hepatic encephalopathy)
Diagnosis
-
Blood tests (ALT, ALP, AST, bilirubin, bile acids)
-
Ultrasound or imaging
-
Urinalysis
-
Biopsy (if needed)
Liver wellness & supportive care
-
Nutrition: highly digestible, moderate protein (species-appropriate)
-
Antioxidant support: supports liver cell repair
-
Bile flow support: helps fat digestion and toxin clearance
-
Gut–liver axis care: healthy gut reduces liver burden
-
Avoid toxins: chemicals, essential oils, human meds
Special note – cats
Cats are prone to hepatic lipidosis (fatty liver) if they stop eating.
Any cat not eating for 24–48 hours needs urgent veterinary care.
When jaundice is an emergency
-
Sudden yellowing
-
Collapse or severe lethargy
-
Neurological signs (staring, circling, seizures)
-
Persistent vomiting or refusal to eat
Key takeaway
Jaundice signals serious liver or blood dysfunction. Early diagnosis, gentle liver support, and addressing the root cause can be life-saving.
