I am going through this same type of problem with a cat. At least the not eating part. I asked my vet about the liver problem with cats not eating & he said that "it can happen to cats that are heavy but not USUALLY to cats that are thin. I also agree that the ultrasound is a great tool. With my experience with getting a cat to eat is that you try any food you can. I have tried 4 different dry & tons of different canned. Mine seems to change what she likes with the tide. She does not like canned very well but is eating science diet right now. Earlier this week she was eating fancy feast dry. If I were you I would tell your vet your worries [write down questions you want to ask] & ask what he thinks of what you want to do or what would it hurt to try it. I wish you the best of luck & I understand your struggle right now.
