Little background, I have a 4 year old female shepherd (spayed) that I am fostering for work. She has heartworm, just got her first injection last week Monday (6/23). Had a rough go after that and was put on to Pred and Doxy starting 6/26. She's been up and down since, mostly up till this past week she's been so-so. Took her in for an exam, vet noticed her eye whites were yellowish. We sent bloodwork and came back all liver enzymes very elevated.
T.Billirubin 1.2 (normal 0-0.6)
Gamma GT 84 (normal 0-10)
ALT 4473 (normal 10-69) The lab Repeated and confirmed this
AST 408 (normal 0-67) Lab repeated and confirmed also
Alk Phos 1268 (normal 7-64)
Other things out of normal range were:
T protein 8.4 (normal 5.1-7.3)
Albumen 2.4 (normal 2.6-3.6)
D.Billirubin 0.5 (normal 0-0.2)
Her blood sample was Icteric
Right now we are trying to flush her system by having her on IV fluids. She is home with me as that is better than being at the shelter as I can monitor/manage her IV. No more pred but continuing doxy.
She can use prayers and was just wondering if anyone has had experiance with liver issues as such. I myself have never seen such elevated levels before.
Thanks
