These two values will become elevated when toxins are involved. (By toxins, I mean anything ingested to vaccines received.) In dogs that have Liver Shunt, these values are most often only mildly elevated. Vaccines, such as Lepto, can cause higher elevations of these liver enzymes, and the OP's dog has been repeatedly vaccinated against Lepto. Or maybe the dog has contracted Lepto.

You are saying that the Lepto vaccine causes higher elevations of liver enzymes than LS?
Where is this information?
I have never heard of such a thing, but would be interested in seeing the data to back this up so that I can discuss it with my vet. We have not had a problem with lepto in this area, but I want to be informed in case it ever happens and I need to make a decision about this vaccine for my pups.
