He put her on metronidazole after her liver enzyme results came back so high. She had Rabies vaccination and and DHL shots for the first 2 years of her life; and the our vet decided not to vaccinate her again with these liver issues popping up. She has never had reactions to her vaccines. I will check with our vet for the BAT; but, I will ask again if anyone else out there on YT has had their Yorkie put on Predinisone with liver issues. Thank you for your help. |
The 'L' Part of the DHL vaccine is Lepto, and is not recommended for use in small dogs... and can cause liver and/or kidney damage. Vaccine reactions (acute and chronic) are treated with prednisone. I will contact some members that may be able to answer your questions.
