Please help save Sydney's life!

Sydney had to go in for her blood test and the results were disheartening. Her ALT levels were elevated, and the vet seems to think it is one of three things:

1. the cancer has returned
2. she is in the beginning stages of liver failure
3. the liver is excreting high levels of ALT from all of the medications


I am so very worried, because I have spent so much time trying to help her. She has been pretty lethargic lately, and I could tell she wasn't feeling her best. She has also lost some weight, which makes me worry as well - she is 8.5 lbs now, when she started the chemo 6 months ago she was almost 14 lbs. It is so very stessful. The vet gave me a medication, which is supposed to help liver cells from dying and protect healthy tissue. Please pray that this will get her ALT levels down. She will be going back to the vet in two weeks to have her levels checked again...

Major prayers for Sydney and you. After all the meds and chemo, I hope it is her liver getting rid of the stuff.

Is there anything that can help the liver detox more? More water? Milk thistle?

Looking forward to the medication making Sydney her old self again.

Prayers on the way for Sydney to start feeling better again! I hope it's not the cancer returning!! Like Candace said, maybe her liver needs to detox. Hopefully that's all it is.

Hugs to you!!
