Brought Chipper home from vet at noon. He had bloodwork done for BAT which will be sent off and results on Monday....hopefully. She redid the ALT and the number had dropped from 1863 to 659 and the BUN was in normal range. Vet is cautiously optimistic. Thinks it may have been the infected anal gland causing the gallbladder to act up and affect the liver or the high protein food. He will remain on the k/d for the time being until the BAT is in. Then we will rethink. Thanks for all the responses. It's wait and see right now. Will let you know on Monday/whenever what the BAT results are. ~Joanne~
