Pet's info: Dog | Cairn Terrier | Female | spayed | 17 lbs
My 15 mo Cairn Terrier seems perfectly fine, yet liver enzymes were slightly high, 145, at routine 1 year wellness exam.. Retested 3 weeks later- 237. Was put on Denamarin and special diet from vet, 30 days later 391. Had access to sago palm leaves, yet no other symptoms at all. Vet did Bile Acid test, post 35.7. Vet says "slightly abnormal". What should I do next? Continue to monitor levels? Move on to very costly ultrasound & biopsy?If it was the sago, will high enzymes eventually level off?
