I'm not sure if Actigall makes them go up or down. I thought it wold make them go down but this seems to say it could make them go up. I don't know... |
yep-that makes perfect sense. thank you so much for sending me that. i wish we had already seen the specialist... i know i am going to tick off the vet questioning something once again bc i researched something on line... but i want her to know if we decide to disc the ursodiol. and i also want her to know that we are going to switch to the heppasupport and vetri-dmg too. and she better help me with the correct dosage too even though she did not prescribe either of those two things. i have a feeling that she will refuse to help me with it though just based on past experiences. she is very hard to talk to. and she is also very dramatic to add to that. she made me worried sick so many times- literally. just by the way she would explain things to me. She also has told me that my sadie girl will die someday of kidney failure or some type of kidney disease. always dramatic though. i mean it's enevitable with the glomelur disease sadie has.
there i go again- talking about both dogs with 2 diff conditions on one post. it's so hard not too. Sorry :-(
I need to keep this post on samie only.
