how long was your dog eating the new food before bats were done? I think the alt was high due to infection from anal glands and probably had some toxins in his system which affected the alt numbers as the bats are a better measurement of the liver and those are not bad. If this were my pup i would do no further testing and feed a low protein diet. Also i would not be using metacam as metacam should not be used in a dog with liver and kidney not functioning at a 100% and your dog probably has mvd - also the food at 40% protein was too high so probably upped the numbers as well

is the anal gland infection cleared up ?

was your dog shaking before ? Is it cold there? Was it after eating as liver shunt/mvd dogs are in pain after eating usually as the food is what triggers the toxins and pain

that number is lower than my mvd dog and my mvd has no symptoms
