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?

Bath Time
It's almost time for a b.a.t.h. psh. I don't really like them, but Mumma says I need one.
Once this quarter is done, Daddy will help Mumma and I'll be in the tub, so I thought I'd update everyone real quick like.
I snuck a peek at the Christmas gifts...Mum and Dad got me a HUGE rawhide bone. It's like, twice the size of me!! I can't wait to get it!
Yesterday we went to PETCO and I got my nails trimmed. I hate that...but after I got to pick out some chewies and Mum tried a santa hat on me. I didn't think it was amusing, but I tolerated it. Mum didn't have her camera, otherwise she'd have taken pictures. But she said she'd get it for me to wear to Grammie's house for Christmas Eve, so she'll take pictures then.
That's all for now!
