ALT Levels

Hello Every Dog,
My ALT levels, those pesky liver enzymes, are still pretty high. Dr. Bennington said my ALT levels should be around 120 at the highest. The first time they poked me and took blood my ALT was 254. They put me on that hot dog treat, I mean...penicillin, twice a day and then mom brought me back and they poked me again. This time, my ALT levels were 249. So they went down, but not as much as Dr. Bennington would have liked, especially in two weeks time.

Dr. Bennington says it could be the raw hides mom and dad have been giving me....so Mom threw out ALL my raw hides and she said she's going to get me special ones tomorrow (ones that are from the USA only).

Does any dog know much about ALT levels? Do Eskie's tend to have liver problems?


UPDATE From Sidka's Mum:
It was virtually IMPOSSIBLE to find raw hides that were not overseas. So, we decided to finally try bully sticks. Man, Sid goes through those FAST, FAST, FAST and they're expensive...So we also got the New(ish?) Nyla Bones that are completely digestable. Both Sidka and Josie love them. We have to get Sid the colossal size (!) and Josie the regular size (versus petite, she went through that too fast!). I like them, but also expensive, so they're limited. Raw hides lasted so much longer for Sid! Any suggestions?

new box...

Yesterday Mommy and I went for a walk. She took me because I think she felt bad for leaving me home alone all those days while her and Daddy work. But she told me they need to work to be able to buy my food and flea stuff and toys...so I guess I'm glad they work...
After we played in the park we went to PETCO! We got some new treats and cookies and then mommy went to the way back of the store and she looked at wire things while I looked at squeaky toys. I don't know why, but she had this guy bring this BIG box out to the truck and she bought me a football squeaky! When we got home Mommy set up this wire thing from the big box and she put my football in there! What?! Why does my football toy need a cage Mommy??? I just kept asking her that. Then she put my rawhide in there too and my blankie. What is going on Mommy??

Then after all that we went to bed. And in the morning when Mommy took a shower she put me in that Kennel!! But, I think I like it, it's bigger than my other one and I get more room to stretch and move around.

Hopefully Mommy gets a replacement cord soon...and I won't chew on it this time! What's a blog without pictures!!
