They don't seem excessive...Dex was elevated too, i did not know to fast furkids before blood draw, he had elevated liver enzyme and BUN was elevated....Had him retested and all was ok the second draw
GOOD LUCK and i hope it's just that for you.....OH and he ate breakfast about an hour before the first draw too...don't know what i was thinking
