Fingers crossed for a smooth dental! He is not on insulin, so you needn't worry abut his BG going low.

Waiting is the hardest part!
Did they say how long before you can pick him up?

I’m very surprised at the glucose. His numbers have been so normal yet so high. I know stress can raise it but that much? It looks like he was dehydrated. Has he been peeing a lot? That would explain the high red blood count etc but not the liver enzymes. What did the vet say?

Not drinking water been adding to can food. Not peeing too much usu 2x/day. That was the cbc from May. Just said liver # high Dr will consult at p/u. I am abt 2 hours to return home.

I'm so sorry you had to postpone the dental but it is better to be safe than sorry. Hope the liver numbers are just temporary, A Fae. Please keep us informed.

Those liver enzymes are only just barely out of range. Not really bad. Caution is good though. You could try a healing liver supplement lime Denamarin which is excellent (if you can give pills) or milk thistle. Highly recommend these.

Also if he was a little dehydrated from the fasting then that elevates proteins like albumin and globulin. Again they’re not super high.

What did the vet say? How did he/she interpret the labs?

This is a specialty vet for dentals only. I was told his liver numbers were bad but she could not give a dx. She sold me DENAMARIN she said was a supplement for liver. Wants us back in 30 days for another CBC to determine if supplement is helping. We were only charged $80 for CBC + $30/supplement. I have $ to take him to DR Karma for further dx

Yes. I used Denamarin. It is a round blue pill. Can be a little slippery to pill because it is round.

I'm good at pilling although I don't like to. Pilling is easier for me than trying to med with liquid drops. Ben won't eat any foods that have meds mixed in and I hate trying to squirt slowly as not to make him gag.
I have pilled this med twice now, I am so fast Ben doesn't realize what just happened. I don't think I could pill anything larger though. 1/16 famotidine was pretty easy to pill Groovy with - lol
THANKS, glad to know others have pilled this med. Did you have success with it?

It improved Darcy’s liver values after he had Hepatic Lipidosis.
