Emma has unusually high elevated liver enzymes:(

February 22nd, 2012 - 9:09 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Emma Lovers.  Wow, who is not one of those????  Probably no one.

Anyway….

9:00am tomorrow x-rays at her vet office.

10:00 tomorrow we take the x-rays and have an ultrasound at the specialist office.

I am not an alarmist.  I think it might be a freak thing.

Even though I am not an alarmist, it never hurts to have some good vibes heading her way from the residents.  Herz don’t ask for much….

She feels fine and is eating good.  I had her blood tested because she had a UTI that did not clear up after a course of antibiotics.  That still is not concerning me that much.  I know my Shim and she is not showing any bad symptoms regarding elevated liver enzymes. Love my google.

Chin up and send a bit of mental well wishes for her tomorrow. Slurp!

More updating our residents later….Cat (staying strong), Chaps and Emma

    Cat, liver enzymes can be elevated by a number of things. Try not to worry too much. She is in the best of hands and she is getting positive love vibes all the way from Texas! Hang in there, Emmers is gonna be fine.

    Chaps will be going with us. He will be a big help. Grandma and I have our alarms set. She cannot eat her breakfast. She will be so mad.

    Dear, sweet, Emma, we love you. Hope it is something easily treated. Try to think positive so she feels your good vibes! Glad Chaps is going too, she will feel better, with him beside her.

    Well, I am up and trying to keep the kids in bed. They are both still sleeping – Thank Dawg. I cannot bare to not feed a hungry hound. I can’t even go in the kitchen or else all hell will break loose with Shimlette. She is the hungriest hound. From the first meal I have fed her until last night’s meal she has barked frantically for her meals. She is just too cute.

    NEED. COFFEE. NOW….

    You know we have buckets of drool coming from the Doyle household. With 4 hounds that are always hungry, the drool never stops coming. We have it headed your way and it should be arriving very soon. Sandy is right, there’s no telling what is causing the enzymes to be up. And the next test could be normal. She may have to be put on a different type of food now that she’s getting a little older. I’m sure it’s nothing serious but I’m glad your checking it out.

    well?
    hoping it is nothing serious..just maybe everything being off from the meds & infection…

    the day of buster’s surgery last year we all went without breakfast & schlepped the hour drive at zero dark thirty to get him to the vet. i had to pack food in the van the night before…after he was safely inside i fed the others (because sally & lowla had to come )so i feel your pain!

    crossing all that can be crossed & some things that probably shouldn’t.

    Oh, Cat! Many positive thoughts and prayers for your dear little Shimlette from the Newbold’s. It is so hard not to worry… Lots of sloppy Basset kisses from Nosey… xoxo
