My Olivia had much higher numbers and she was on Amoxicillin, Denamarin and Ursodiol. She was on Purina NF already due to the fact that she has PLN. Personally, I would probably do the meds because they are what will fix the liver issues. I might, as Cathy suggested, change the food but it would not be to Hill's LD. My Teddy Bear had liver shunt surgery last year and does have some mild elevation of his BATs. The surgeon told me that all LS pups do have some degree of MVD. She does not put them on liver diets...and the vet nutritionist does not either. She opts for moderate protein. Hope this helps.
Olivia was on the Denamarin for a long time and is still on the Ursodiol. Neither of those meds are harmful in any way and can help while not hurting anything. |
