Maya my Pom just had bloodwork done a few weeks ago due to her losing weight and having Cushings disease. Her liver test came back at close to 500 and that was way over what it should be. SO we had to stop her Cushings treatment and start her on prednisone and a antirejection medicine. I just took her in today for another blood test to see if the meds are helping. Maya is 10 1/2 years old. She had the liver biopsy, and stopped breathing from the little bit of anesthesia they gave her, because her liver values were so high. Thank god she was at a specialty hospital and the critical care doctor was able to bring her around. ANyway she was diagnosed from the biopsy as having inflammatory liver disease and chirrois. If the meds work we can reverse the problem if not then I just have to see how she goes. I would suggest your friend get further testing.
