Liver Inflammation In A Small, Old, Dog.

[sandyRoe]

Told that in a voicemail and the vet will phone again in the morning. Is this a serious problem?

[anneasquith]

Don't know sandy. Is he unwell?

[sandyRoe]

Blood was táken to assess the levels of a medication. Then this showed up.

[anneasquith]

Suppose you're only option is wait until tomorrow or Dr. Google.

[sandyRoe]

I'll wait. The dog has a healthy appetite and is a bit overweight, so I'm hoping it's not too serious.

[anneasquith]

Hope not sandy. Let us know what vet says.

[wolf63]

I don't 'know' the answer but I know that many dogs/cats have liver and/or kidney problems when they get older.

How old is she?

[sandyRoe]

I think at least 11. That's old in dog years.

[wolf63]

It's the start of old age but it depends on her size and breed(s). Good luck with the vet tomorrow.

[anneasquith]

Any news from the vet sandy?

[sandyRoe]

I phoned this morning and they told me the vet we see won't be in today.ive arranged for her to call me tomorrow. It's a bit cavalier to mention a potential problem and then not be available to discuss it.

Cameron changes his mind on Brexit, is that stupid enough ?

[viv41]

So sorry sandy, wrong thread !!

[viv41]

I agree with you though, the vet should be there to discuss this important matter.

[sandyRoe]

My vet may be an ABer . After I posted here earlier today she did phone. She said as the wee dogs eating and seems in fine fettle there's probably nothing to worry about. They'll take blood samples again in about 6 weeks.

[anneasquith]

Good news.

[wolf63]

I am glad that she is feeling okay. It is good that our furry friends don't worry about 'stuff' like we do. They have more sense. My vets practice is really good but they are all younger than me now. Makes me feel old(er). I have been going there for almost 35-40 years.
