Both my yorkies have had elevated liver enzymes, and our friend's yorkie also recently had elevated enzymes. I am beginning to wonder about how the range for acceptable liver enzymes is calculated. Perhaps Yorkies (or other small dogs) tend to normally have higher liver enzymes? I only say this because I have some knowledge of how the "standards" are set; and the standard reference ranges for anything (liver enzymes, blood glucose, etc) can change over time for a variety of reasons.

The bottom line is that both my dogs have elevated enzymes, have undergone treatment with Marin, and seem completely normal and healthy. Don't know what to say, other than don't worry too much. Given what I've seen, it almost never turns out to be a problem.
