More bloodwork results on Mali

straight from the phone:

kidney dysfunction not alleviated

new finding - one of her liver enzymes is very elevated - was normal a few weeks ago - should be less than 100 and hers is 939 - that may be causing her decreased appetite right now

worry about something infectious or reaction to medication? only on clavamax

how to handle this? - check her back into hospital and put her back on fluids and try to get them all back down while figuring out cause of liver problems

if no hospital - put her on fluids - go to riverbend tomorrow for fluids and to bring new ones home - vet prefers homecare so going to riverbend tomorrow for fluids

blood tests - liver and kidney on tuesday, medication for liver - doc will call my vet so that she knows what is going on and for meds

if liver enzymes don't drop to an acceptable level - more tests: sample of liver - asperit (2 minutes) or biopsy (...)

does this change diagnosis? potentially - impossible to say in what way
