Table 1~6). Among these, the response of first animal
was better than the second and third because those
were suffering from other clinical conditions along
with jaundice. But within 20 days, the other animals
also showed full recovery just like the first one.

considered to have generalized effect
on overall immunity, increases the ability of body to
combat infection and also act as liver tonic. As there
was not much impairment of liver in the presented
cases of cats, that is why the response was very good
in all the cases and animals recovered within 10 days
of initiation of treatment. After 10 days of initiation of
treatment, animals were again subjected to the
laboratory tests (Table 1~6). These laboratory tests
assured the recovery of the animals. All parameters
started to come towards normal level as shown in
Tables 1~6. Animals observed as active as these were
before and their mucous membranes became
brightened. They also showed normal feed and water
intake.
