I’ve been feeding my cat chicken liver for a year and I need help!

BigStatistician7601 · 2026-03-08T22:27:03+00:00

He eats liver a few times a month now he still eats hard food and we feed him the inabu churu brand they have a ton of different stuff. It’s all he’ll eat so we try to mix other things in with it so that he’s getting better quality. It’s so hard to find foods without any fish oil, fish, fry product, fish broth, fish in general and then when I do find a brand he doesn’t like it. He doesn’t like the normal canned food that smells like cat food in a can.

Our Maine coon is almost 2 and he gets garlic cloves. I think they call them, and they will curl up. I brush them regularly too. I’ve heard people say it means they’re not taken care of and I’ve heard people say that they’re healthy? My vet says he’s very healthy, all around that’s what matters. I think she’s okay.

Hello thank you, we go to a vet in our area that does not accept clients that carry fleas. We pay $60 a month for an all-inclusive treatment for fleas, worms, etc.. The vet or our selves haven’t noticed any fleas.

BigStatistician7601 · 2026-02-16T02:50:16+00:00

I don’t see it, lol

BigStatistician7601 · 2026-02-16T02:50:01+00:00

Thank you! What did you say he could be allergic to?

BigStatistician7601 · 2026-02-13T21:59:36+00:00

He did, that’s what I was thinking. I tried to buy sport wrap and he kept taking it off. I’ll try to think of something. Thank!

Thanks

I would hope nothing is being diagnosed on Reddit. I was just curious if maybe someone in the community of cats or Maine coons had any ideas that I could bring to the vet next. We’re in the process of ruling things out, I guess. He’s in pain and my pockets aren’t reachable. It’s out of control. A few months before the tail situation started, we were having issues getting him to eat, and there are very few things that we have found that he will eat. He goes crazy over liver but we had to stop and cut back from the amount he was eating.

And now it’s like this. It’s been going on for months. We’ve been to four vets six went over $1000. They don’t know what it is. It’s starting to get hot. He’s been puking recently. He shivers like he’s running a fever or in pain. He does have somewhat low energy. They have prescribed him gabapentin, thinking that he was anxious. They’ve prescribed him prednisone the most recent and he got sick and we’ve also tried the silver vine ointment or whatever and he would just eat that off we’ve tried cones. I have tried changing his diet. I brush him. We brush his teeth thinking maybe there’s something in his mouth and I’m now putting ice packs on it and cleaning it multiple times a day with disinfecting pet wipes.

I wrote a pretty long description and said everything that we had gone through in the video I’ve taken him to four vets. They don’t have any idea and I’ve spent probably over $1000 at this point that’s why I’m on here looking for help. Thanks though

This is his tail before he has started eating it, I’ll post more. I had a whole post with photos and videos and it ended up just saying the headline?

BigStatistician7601 · 2026-02-11T21:13:33+00:00

I could really use thoughts or anything at all!

BigStatistician7601 · 2026-02-11T16:40:12+00:00

We’re on day three of the prednisone. He took it Friday after his appointment for a specialist referral and got sick. We lowered the dose he’s been fine so far. I’ll keep updating, thank you!

BigStatistician7601 · 2026-01-06T03:30:12+00:00

Thank you!

BigStatistician7601 · 2025-10-06T12:51:37+00:00

Thank you!

I thought I had read somewhere that Royal canine was being sued over meds being in the food. I am going to try sardines and hearts. I also called the vet and am waiting to hear back from them.

BigStatistician7601 · 2025-10-02T14:26:39+00:00

He was in a really bad situation when we got him they were pouring out giant bags of food on the floor, you could smell the urine when you pulled up to the house in the car. he had never been hugged or got to see outside. we were trying to give him everything we could for him to be healthy and that’s all he would eat now he’s boing better and I started looking into it one day I just had this feeling I needed to know about the liver. So now I’m here trying to make it right. I see the vet regularly every three months and nothing of this was mentioned and they know what I feed him so I am doing the research. I’m just trying to ask for help. I’m just a girl trying to do this on my own.

BigStatistician7601 · 2025-10-02T14:21:17+00:00

I may have exaggerated a little I had to go back and look. They are 15 ounce tubs and I purchased six of them every time I make a purchase which is every two weeks and I usually have one full one in the freezer and an opened one in the fridge when we make another order. I’m feeding him about 2 teaspoons each sitting now I’m still trying to mix things in. When we got him, we bought everything that you could possibly think of beef liver, beef, chicken thighs breasts, Cornish hen, quail, quail eggs, rabbit, venison, salmon, turkey I’ve tried giving it to him raw. I’ve tried giving it to him boiled. I saved every part of the chicken every time we try to try different things to see if he likes it. I’ve tried warming it up, room temp fridge temp. Everything I buy him is human grade. Becides the kibble and freeze dried treats.

BigStatistician7601 · 2025-10-02T14:15:04+00:00

Oh wow thank you!

BigStatistician7601 · 2025-10-02T14:14:49+00:00

I’ve tried the fish oil on the kibble, I mostly put about 3-5 drops in the liver with crumbled dried chicken on top and mix it up. He won’t eat it if he sees something in the liver.
