A 3-year-old female cat of a local breed was admitted to the hospital with the condition of anorexia, weight loss and yellowish colored urine. A physical examination revealed that the cat was icteric with normal temperature, respiration and heartbeat. Hematological and serum biochemical examinations showed elevated bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, and alanine aminotransferase but normal hematological value suggestive of hepatic jaundice. Subsequent radiological and ultrasonographic findings also suggested it as a jaundice. The animal was treated silymarin, amoxicillin, vitamin C, and vitamin E, as well as a nutritionally balanced diet according to daily energy needs. Reevaluation of various blood parameters after 15 days of treatment revealed marked improvement.
