Most veterinary clinics will carry prescription liver diets such as Hill's l/d that are designed specifically to help cats with liver issues. Some vets may also recommend supplements to help support liver health, however it is best to check with your vet first to make sure they do not interact with any medications Dash is on. Cats tend to be enticed by warm or smelly food, so if he is having trouble eating, moistening dry food, or using wet food and then heating it up for 3-5 seconds to get it smelly may encourage him to eat. If he refuses to eat completely, it is best to seek veterinary care to help get him eating again and prevent further stress to his body.
