"Our cat's appetite has been decreasing recently, so we had to see the vet. The doctor performed an examination and discovered bile stasis in the gallbladder. The specialist recommended a course of treatment with Hepatolux. I purchased the medication in suspension form and added it to her food twice a day. She responded well to the medication and experienced no side effects. Within two weeks, the effect was noticeable, and her appetite returned to normal."
