She indicated that fatty liver is often completely idiopathic, which seems so odd to me, but that's what she said. She also said that it can resolve very easily for some people within 6 months or so. Sure enough, my friend ate a lower fat diet, cut out all alcohol, exercised a little more than usual - and after about 6 mths or so, his liver tested totally normal. So, I know it's awful not to know a cause, but I guess this is common w/ fatty liver.

It is strange...maybe there is something that predisposes certain people/dogs/cats to this Hopefully with a diet change, her liver will get back to normal too.

I had joined a Liver shunt/MVD support group. Can you give me a link to the liver group you are talking about? It would probably be better to be on one that includes all liver diseases.

And I too was feeding NV raw chicken but only for about 3 months before everything started. And I was using Petzlife 1-2 times a day for about 2-3 months. So I think it may be some kind of relation somewhere.

When I took Tanj to the vet 2 weeks ago the vet asked if she had gotten into anything that could have been poisonous and I racked my brain for about a week, and out of the blue Petzlife popped in my mind. So I too will be digging for answers.

That is interesting... I e-mailed Petzlife with my concerns and Lacy's diagnosis. Did you get an exact diagnosis for Tanj? Maybe you should e-mail Petzlife as well.
