Mornin,
What I see are the liver values - the ALK, ALT, AST, and GGT - are ALL elevated. To me that is a clear sign the liver needs to be more closely looked at to be sure there is no primary hepatic disease going on before starting treatment. IF she does have liver disease, this could skew the tests causing false positive and Trilostane (Vetoryl) is not recommended for pups with liver disease so you want to know before you are given Trilo (Vetoryl).
I also see elevated glucose. Did your vet do a urine check to verify this is not diabetes rearing its head?
I really, really, really, really wish I, or someone else here, could explain these results but I don't have the knowledge.
How is Scoop doing this morning?
Hugs,
Leslie and the gang
