In LS dogs, more than one liver enzyme will be high, and only 2-3 times the normal value. If you dog's ALT is the only enzyme affected... that is due to the toxic event, IMHO. The link I posted discusses bloodwork results, and it is the Univ of Tennessee, Dr Karen Tobias.
What should I look at on his test results? Meaning as, what should be elevated/low? Dr. Locke (an internal medicine specialist here in Jacksonville) told me that the levels that are elevated in LS patients weren't elevated with Louie. That's obviously good, but I don't want to risk the chance of him having a shunt. It seems like he doesn't do too well on a normal diet.
