I do think a consult with a Board Certified Internist would be worth your while. I think you more specific information and a second opinion from someone with advanced training. MVD #s are usually not that high. Feeling good or not, the liver is not functioning well and your dog should be in the care of a specialist. Yes, I take my dogs to specialists even when they are feeling good if the blood work isn't right.....I just posted about my Barney in another thread and I took him to an internist just because he had two mild abnormalities on his blood work.
Good luck. |
Thank you and glad to know you take yours to a specialist if only the bloodwork is off. We are going to re-run the BATs and if the numbers are still high, I will go to Univ of MO Vet school for specialist which is fairly close to where we live.
