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?

Newturd....

Hi every dog! I'm bacckk! Mommy brought me home just a few minutes ago from being newturd. Like someone here said, it was like a little nap...cept I had to stay there all nights! How come no one told me mommy leave me there for a whole nights?

The doctor said my liver enzymes are still really high. But mommy and daddy wanted me to get that chip and be newturd, so the doctors check other liver things and let me take that nap. Mommy has to keep me on the walking leash when we go outside, instead of the lead. She'll do that for 10 days. I want to jump and play, but mommy says no. So I'm writing this, then I'm going to take a nice pig ear into my crate and take another naps.

Only 2 more days until Josie is here!

NILIF

Hi everyone! I just wanted you guys to know that Mommy started this NILIF (as per your advice every doggies!) thing and I think it's working! We just started 3 days ago, but she swears she sees big improvements! Now she just needs to get Daddy to be consistent and use NILIF advice too!

On another similar note...
So...somehow...my potty behaviors have magically been "cured" again. I don't go inside the house anymore. Mommy wonders if I will again! She said she's going to call the V-E-T...what's that?!
Is that where I get the good freeze dried liver treats?!?!?!!
I loooovvveee those! Mommy won't buy them for me though, she says it's a special treat for when I go to the V-E-T to see Dr. Bennington...I hope we go soon!!

PS Mommy added all those links because she's afraid I'm boring you because I don't have any pictures...i know, I know, we need a new cord..........
