| ALT Level Elevated 374!! :cry: Hello Friends, Please help i am driving myself insane! Paris had her regular physical yesterday at a local Banfield Hopsital in betsmart and a routine blood test was done and her ALT level was elevated. The doctor recommended we do a Bile Acid Test to see what exactly what is going on, but i am HYSTERICAL!! She is on 1 1/2 and she is showing no symptoms, in fact she seems extremely happy! I am just extremely worried, all i've been doing is reading! I had a thought that maybe they were high because she stills eats her poop, or maybe its toxins coming from her food, etc. She is currently eating Health Extention kibbles , no soft food!! Please help me out i do not want anything happening to my baby! |

YT 500 Club Member | Sending positive thoughts that it is not her liver. I think sometimes liver tests can be elevated. My daughters was and so was mine and then when we re tested it was fine. Keep us updated. |

| Elevated ALT can be indicative of SO many different things. I just recently had a foster pup in ICU with a level of 7,000. There were other elevations as well....he ended up with a diagnosis of cholangiohepatis. His ALT is down to 300 now and I am thrilled as are the vets. Doing BATs is not a bad idea. Try to relax....ALT can go up with just a small insult to the liver...it also can come down rather quickly. I have had many pups with elevations that ended up being not a big deal. Please keep us posted!

| Thank you all. I have gotten good advice and just as a precaution I will be doing the BAT tomorrow morning. Just hoping it is not as serious as it can be as that was the only level that was elevated and she looks great and is acting very normal. Thank you all for your comments and keeping us in your prayers I will update you all as soon as I get some answers. |
