| Elevated Liver Enzymes
Hello. About 3 days ago, my 11 year Rottie mix seemed to be sluggish and tired...not himself at all. When this continued into a 2nd day, I brought him into see the vet. It turned out he had a temp of 104! He was given fluids and a complete blood panel was taken. He was given doxycycline and Deramaxx. He was also tested for Lyme disease but that came back negative. The vet called me this morning with the blood test results and said Buddy has elevated liver enzymes (1200!) and his white blood cell count was low. He is now scheduled to go back in for an ultrasound of his liver. The vet told me to discontinue the Deramaxx but continue the Doxycyline. Buddy seems to be much better today but truth be told, I'm soooo worried about the elevated enzymes and what it might be :( Just wondering if anyone has any feedback or experiences to share? Our appointment isn't until later this week for the ultrasound. Thanks in advance. |
