So glad Linker is feeling better. Maybe they can get him on the road to recovery and gain some weight. It is wonderful when they start to feel better. I hate having mine sick as everyone does but this little guy just had a hard start. God bless little Linker and strengthen him and heal him from everything that is wrong.

Did your vet do a BAT? That is usually the next step with elevated liver enzymes.

Most likely at his age it's not Addisons but is possioble. With his liver enzymes he most likely has Liver shunt or MVD so if his symptoms worsen or change in any way , get him back to the vet ASAP. Has he been vaccinated ? if yes then it could be something other then Liver shunt causing his liver enzymes to be off so keep a close eye & write down every odd thing he does or Any new symptoms.

Found Linker a new vet and this clinic seems more thorough than the ones I have visited.

Apparently Linker's enzymes are abnormal, i think the doc said elevated enzymes but not too crazy so he'll be ok. Got some meds and he seems to be doing a lot better. Still lethargic but is eating and doesn't appear uncomfortable anymore.

My friend recommended milk thristle, anyone tried that for liver issues? If so, which brand would be the best?

Thanks,

Ed

Hi Ed. Glad to hear you got him to a different vet that you liked. Did he/she mention anything about doing a bile acid test? They also usually prescribe a special food for liver problems - lower protein. What meds have they prescribed? I do not have any answers about the milk thistle. It's good to hear he is doing a little better.
