Liver Blood Test ALT and AST info - PLEASE READ!!!!! I was investigating a product called Angel Eyes for my Mother-In-Law. She has an apricot poodle with horrid eye stains. The product is made from Tylosin as Tartrate and beef liver. Of course I just had to know what Tylosin was and what if any side effects. This little tidbid of information really slapped me in the face. It is a antibacterial agent that is quite safe for use in small animals and dogs, however..... one of the major side affects is that: Tylosin may falsely elevate certain liver blood tests (ALT and AST). If your furkid has had an unexplained elevated ALT or AST and is currently on a Tylosin drug this might be the reason. Here are three sites that reference the effects on ALT and AST http://www.marvistavet.com/html/body_tylosin.html http://www.petplace.com/drug-library...lan/page1.aspx http://www.vetinfo4dogs.com/deffect....s%20with%20IBD It might be a good thing to mention this to your vet if you are using a Tylosin based drug and are going in for a liver profile. |
I was reading our tube of Panalog and it can also elevate ALT and maybe one other (probably AST?). |
Wow thanks for that info. |
Thanks...good to know |
great to know! thanks for that info! I will pass it onto the people at the bichon board i visit. A lot use it, since some Bichons (like mine) get stains. |
This is very important to know...and remember! Thank you for posting. |
Thanks for the heads up. Who would have thought. |
