Update:
Parent's dog had a 50% increase in her numbers and is starting to perk up a bit. Seems like she's on the up and that maybe the emergency vets went a little too far doomsday.
Skeletor had a vet appt yesterday, was supposed to be his annual comprehensive bloodwork. He needed an update on bordetella, annual deworming, his proheart injection, and just a checkup. He's been doing well, just old dog stuff.
His ALT and creatinine were both exceptionally high, so they pulled a urine sample. The inhouse portion of that was normal. They're sending bloodwork and urine sample out to a lab to check on them. Vet is concerned early signs of kidney disease.
He also wants us to start him on adequan injections for his joints. I'm waiting until we get the results from the more indepth lab review before I do that though because research shows adequan is contraindicated for pets with kidney problems.
I'm hoping he's fine and that I get the call in a few days that it was a false alarm and the lab says all is well, then I'll order the adequan and see if it helps his old bones.
