It was after these labs that were taken in December that led to the vet wanting to run a BAT. And i am so worried now after seeing these. I am only listing the high values... SUCH a HUGE difference from JULY TO DECEMBER IN HER "ALT VALUE"!!! I KNOW THIS IS A BIG ONE TO LOOK AT SINCE I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT 'ALT" IS?
I JUST SEE EVERYONE ASKING OR LISTING ALT VALUES...

FIRST I AM LISTING HER JULY 07 LABS AND THEN HER 12/07 LABS:

7/14/07 LABS:
ALT: 25 (RANGE: 5-107)
AMALYASE: 1443 (RANGE: 450-1240)

12/11/07 LABS:
ALT: 162!!!
AMALYASE: 1707

Now i will say this... Since July... when Samie's ALT was 25... we have introduced SOLOXINE AND FLOVENT. I WONDER IF THESE MED'S COULD HAVE MESSED WITH THESE VALUES??? BECAUSE HER VALUES EASILY COULD HAVE CHANGED WITH STARTING HER ON THESE MED'S I THINK. IT WAS IN THE JULY LABS THAT SHE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH HYPOTHYROIDISM AND WE STARTED THE SOLOXINE JULY 20TH ... AND THEN SHORTLY AFTER THAT WE ADDED THE FLOVENT 8/14/07.

REGARDLESS- WE HAVE OUR APPT SET FOR 8AM THIS WEDNESDAY WITH THE SPECIALIST.

I AM NOT MESSING AROUND WITH THIS.
