Retested bile acids one month later.
This time the post bile acids were 15 and the ALT was down to 43.
She stayed on the Denosyl and this diet for awhile.
She was spayed and her liver biopsy came back okay.
She came off the Denosyl around this time and her protein intake increased. I talked to a nutritionist and was now using a homemade diet with 24% protein (chicken). This started in early November sometime.
We were pretty happy that the bile acids came back down and the biopsy was good but the bile acids still needed to be rechecked to make sure everything was okay.
They were rechecked in mid January and Ellie's post was 106.
Her ALT hasn't been checked since it was 43.
We are going to start Denosyl again and go from there since the specialist doesn't have an answer........ |
Have you been on the yahoo liver support group site yet? There are so many people with the best advice. I posted and I could not believe the abundance of info. I am soooooooo thankful that Yorkieluv told me about this site. I wanted to let everyone know that our appt is tomorrow morning at 8am with the specialist. It was originally for today but something came up with my husband at work and we needed to move it to Thurs. I am anticipating our visit. I think she will do ok.
Since we discontinued the Chlorphenaramine she hardly ever pants anymore. And our last long Vet visit was last December. She did ok for about 20 minutes. She gets so excited there. I can't tell you how fearful I am going to a place where no one knows how she can get. they said that they would be ready for us right when we get there. I told them 3 different times that I spoke to them and we even typed up a summary to fax to the specialist. They faxed me all forms too -so I have everything completed and ready to go.
It's amazing the fear we feel for our little ones.
My stomach is in knots!!! but my heart and soul is FULL of hope - all at the the same time. :-) If this is from the Flovent we are done with this vet. All she has done is over medicate my girls and cause us problems.
