the vet presribed antibiotic and also a 30 day supply of Denamarin (which i researched this to be a liver supplement)

Vet now says to do a collagulation test 48 hrs before and wants to do a untrasound and biopsy. she did the trial and error thing with my other Yorkie and 3000.00 later we discovered the problem. she is a very good vet but fresh out of school maybe 5 yrs so i am worried she is getting test happy now with our little one samie. She told my husband that it could be cancer, hepatitis or infection. of course i am worried out of my mind and we are very concerned. My husband does not want to do anything more until we research.

could this denamarin through off her numbers? i am worried sick! I don't understand how her post number could go up so high after just one month. Also none of this blood work was done until we had a collapsing trachea episode a month ago. dog shows no signs of anything wrong at all. If anything she has been doing extremely well. I don't get it? I appreciate any help or advice

I have given new treats and also more canned food than usual- (wellness venison and sweet potato and also wellness duck and sweet potato)

could adding more of the wellness canned food cause her numbers to be higher?
