Question on "elevated liver enzymes"

2 Upvotes

Hey all,

I took my 6 year old calico cat to get dental work, and they called because her white blood cells were high, as was some of the liver enzymes. She has been on a pill that supports liver health (1 a day) and antibiotics for a week.

We have scheduled an ultra sound in a few weeks but I finally got the results. I am seeing:

  • Gamma Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) Above Normal Lab results 16.000 range (0.000 - 1.000)
  • (ALT) Above Normal Lab results 246.000 (range 12.000 - 115.000 )

She is eating normally from what I can tell. From my basic googling, it sounds like it could be a bile duct problem potentially.

How common is this in cats and what could it mean? Does this often result in a liver disease or acute thing?

Why did her stomach change color

Venus is 5 years old. She was spayed at a year old. Yesterday and earlier today her tummy was the normal it’s normal color.
However, over that past 5 hours the skin of her stomach has changed color. Venus is still purring and her behavior has not changed.
When touching her tummy she becomes slightly defensive of it. Her tummy is warm to the touch, almost a feverish feeling to it.

Venus is overweight, weighing 17lbs and we are actively regulating her portion sizes to help her stop over-eating.
We have not changed foods, have not changed treats. Have not introduced any new toys or anything.

I got home around 7pm and her belly looked normal. But now it looks like this.

Dog ate a few pieces of teriyaki chicken and possibly a tiny bit of green onion

She’s an American cocker spaniel, medium sized Id say but I’m not strong at all and I can pick her up with basically no struggle so she doesn’t weigh much. Should I be worried that what she ate will make her sick long term? She’s okay so far, it’s been about 20 minutes or maybe a little less. (Yes I know the amount of toys is a little absurd, they aren’t all hers lol)
