Is anyone familiar with chihuahuas and liver problems? My 12 year old male chihuahua just had a visit with the vet and his numbers are just a bit higher than they were back in February. His numbers are like 162 when they should be around 100. He doesn't act sick at all and he's been on V.A.L. syrup since January. His vet can't figure out why his numbers are running so high. She's wanting to see him in a month to put him on prednisone to see it that gets his numbers down a little. He was on the anti-inflammatory drug Rimadyl, but I took him off of it because it affects the liver, so I ordered a holistic med instead, which is working fine. The other vet that has seen him thinks that it's just the way his body is. He said that some dogs enzyme numbers just run high. My dog plays and I don't see that he acts any different than he ever has. Any advice would really help to at least make me feel better and not worry so much.
