Thank you!
She hasn't had that one.
Her liver enzymes were up a bit, so the vet put her on 2 different antibiotics to see if that fixes things. She's feeling great and completely back to her usual self, so we're hoping that her liver was just unhappy about some kind of toxin or the freaking 2 doses of Metacam (
) she got before the bloodwork.
He regrets giving her that stuff and only chose it because he couldn't come up with a small enough dose of his preferred pain med. (She weighs 4 lb. 2 oz.) Anyway, as soon as he saw the bloodwork he dropped the Metacam and went straight to antibiotics.
He'll test her liver enzymes again when she's through with the 10 days of meds. She hasn't shown any symptoms of shunt whatsoever, but, needless to say, I'm worried.
