Can my parvo cat on IV fluids still get fatty liver without eating?

Question

I just asked a question, but I have one final inquiry. My cat who is being treated of parvo is being continually connected to fluids that are injected into his body for nutrition. Can he still get fatty liver if he doesn't eat by mouth? Or are the fluids enough? Pet's info: Cat | Persian | Male | 4 months and 15 days old

This depends on the type of fluids he is receiving, it is possible to provide intravenous nutrition but this is often very expensive. Tube feeding is often used if not eating voluntarily or if vomiting is severe. I recommend you chat about this with your primary treating vet
