Hello again,
My other thread sort of died, I'm going to start a new one with updates on the Shonzmeister.
Background: Shonzee had stopped eating, and lost tons of weight, causing him to become severely Jaundice and also obtain severe liver disease. Upon the vet visit, I was told the best option for him to POSSIBLY sustain life was a feeding tube as his liver values were highly elevated and he was really sick and dehydrated. I didnt have the money for a feeding tube. He was put on Denamarin, Prednisolone, and Doxycycline. I syringe fed him/gave him fluids for about a week and a half straight.
UPDATES:
1. He has gained back over 2.5 lbs and is eating and drinking on his own. After the first round of Doxy was finished, we started one more round.
2. Check up vet visit confirmed his improvement. We did do another liver panel and it was shown that even though he had over all significantly improved, his values were still slightly elevated.
3. We finished the Doxy, and were told to decrease the Prednisolone to once a day and finish the box of Denamarin.
Question is: Should I be worried with still having a slight increase or is that normal as it recovers? The doctor didnt seem worried, but of course here I am.
