Sorry for another post. I'm an anxious mess today.
Musiakas liver enzymes are elevated - his ALT is over 1000, ALP is over 200. Vet nr 1 says we need to do the IV drip for at least 3 days in a row. Vet nr 2 says it's not necessary and Musiaka doesn't look dehydrated. Musiaka is also restless at the vet and I'm worried about him refusing to stay calm for 1,5 hours. He will roam around. Vet nr 1 suggest we put him into a restraining bag, which is out of question. It will be torture for him. Sedation can't be done such high ALT.
Musiaka does drink water. I got him to eat today, but the appetite is much lower. However he throws up once every 24h, during the night. This week he only didn't throw up on monday and friday. Some days were just a little bile and hair, others, like yesterday, was a larger pile of undigested food.
I'm so scared to make the wrong choice. About to throw up myself thinking about it. Should we get the IV fluids? Could it be enough with subcutaneous shots and cerenia? The price is not the issue, I just don't want to cause Musiaka such stress if staying there for 1,5 can be avoided.
Please help me decide
