&lt;p&gt;I always tell my clients that cats with this condition fall into 3 catergories: those that fail to respond, those that get better and those that improve but then regress. Liken it to George Best&amp;#39;s liver and they get the idea! You&amp;#39;re doing the right stuff but do add in the SAMe but remember the prognosis is guarded at any stage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We had one recently, it unfortunately bled out from the liver biopsy and the owner didn&amp;#39;t want further surgery/blood transfusions. We thought it would be a nailed on hepatic neoplasia but lab report was lymphocytic cholangitis and said guarded to poor prognosis so the owner felt vindicated.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Feline lymphocytic cholangitis</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/118500?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jul 2014 11:00:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:e7591270-8118-4d45-9a37-51c35914f7c1</guid><dc:creator>emma_j</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;+1 for mirtazapine, would also consider addition of famotidine + SAME-e (we usually use denamarin)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Feline lymphocytic cholangitis</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/118447?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 30 Jul 2014 18:47:22 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:ad503319-8b73-4ef3-a800-01afbbe5a6bf</guid><dc:creator>Emily Nightingale</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Would you consider mirtazepine as an appetite stimulant?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
