I was kinda let down by my vet today. I talked with him about repeating the labs and it was decided to repeat in 3-4 months. He prescribed lactulose and was going to check with his "company" to recommend a low protein food for Lilly. I already changed her to the natural balance with chicken. So I guess the next step is to treat medically and wait to repeat the levels. |
I copied your latest results from another thread and am posting them here on your original thread, as it is easier to compare to your first results. Hope you don't mind, it was getting confusing on the other thread, as several different dogs were being discussed.... couldn't keep them straight.
Have you requested a Protein C test? Are you following the other threads here dealing with liver disease, to get an understanding that with liver issues in a puppy it is more important to select the proper sources of protein than just to restrict the amount of protein. Yorkieluv has posted great info about this.
I'm getting the feeling that many Vets aren't up to date on the latest and best diagnosis & treatment for liver disease in dogs. With the valuable information we are getting here, we can help provide new information to our vets and get a better outcome for our pets.
