Heard back from the vet about Rocky

Emoore · 11-11-2011, 10:32 AM

Just got off the phone with the vet. Rocky's liver enzymes are all elevated. I'm going to get a copy of the bloodwork, but there are 4 liver enzymes that were tested. The lowest is double what it should be; the highest is quadruple. So now we know it's something to do with his liver. He's going to be one some medication for a week and then next Friday we'll draw more blood. If the liver enzymes are lower after the medicine I guess we'll know it's less serious and we should continue with the meds. If the liver enzymes are the same we'll know it's something more serious and go from there. I forgot the name of the meds we're starting, I'm about to go get them now.

Oh my, we'll keep the positive energy going that it's nothing serious.

I hope it's nothing serious too. Poor Rocky.

Hope the meds do the trick. Good thing you got him in there when you did.
