Hi everyone,
I have a six year old male Tonkinese cat named Dante. He just had his annual checkup with blood work and some of the results came back abnormal. His ALT=186 (reference 27-158), AST=95 (reference 16-67) and Creatine Kinase=746 (reference 64-440). My vet wants to change his diet to Hill's Science Diet L/D and give him Denamarin supplements as if this is a liver problem. However, I believe the Creatine Kinase is not related to the liver and indicates muscle or heart problems. Has anyone experienced something similar? I honestly don't really trust this vet 100%. I am going to redo the blood work with a different vet in November and I am going to get a second opinion on Aug 27. I just lost my orange tabby earlier this week at the age of 3 so I might just be over reacting right now. I am paranoid about having another sick cat. Any advice or support would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!!!
