Has anyone experienced liver issues in there pet? This is the first time we have had to deal with this. Bentley is 5.5 years old and has never had any health concerns. I noticed he was drinking a lot and began to have accidents in the house. I woke up one morning to find he had peed our bed, and was laying in it. It seemed as though a elephant had peed the bed there was that much. It was the color of betadine and he was jaundiced. I took him in to the ER and they did a ultrasound and blood work and found that his ALP and ALT was 1,000 over the number they should be. His bilirubin was extremely high also. After 4 weeks on multiple antibiotics, and denamarin his bilirubin numbers are almost normal and he is no longer jaundice, but his ALP is going back up as well as his ALT. One big concern I have is his cholesterol level rose from 124 to 860. ugh. I know this is a lot of information but, I just don't know what to do. I have already spent over 3,000. to help him, and the internalist is now suggesting a liver biopsy at the cost of an additional 3,000. ugh.... feeling scared for my little guy.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
