Abstract: Characterization of Serum Lipoprotein Profiles of Healthy, Adult Cats and Idiopathic Feline Hepatic Lipidosis Patients

Characterization of Serum Lipoprotein Profiles of Healthy, Adult Cats and Idiopathic Feline Hepatic Lipidosis Patients Helene E. Pazak, Joseph W. Bartges, Larry C. Cornelius, Melissa A. Scott, Kathy Gross and Thomas L. Huber Hepatic lipidosis is one of the most common hepatobiliary disorders in cats. Signs of hepatic lipidosis include anorexia, weight loss, vomiting and lethargy.
