My 17 1/2 year old dog Odie, had recent blood work done and showed his ALT at 145 and ALP at 1,317. He has a Meningioma and had SRT last year and he also has a bladder tumor which is currently stable. He's was taking 750 mg Keppra 3 x day and Prednisone 10 mg 1 x day
I'm concerned about his current values and weight loss which has happened in 1 1/2 months. Prior to August he weighed in a 41 lbs and is now 34 lbs. A holistic vet had prescribed him Settle The Yang for the brain and Frankincense Oil applied topically at certain points on the body and Lions Mane. He has been eating grass fed and finished 90/10 beef and chopped, kale, brussel sprouts and broccoli. He's very hungry all the time and gets a good amount of meat. He's also taking Turkey Tail and Hepato Support for the liver.
Last bloodwork done in June showed ALT at 77 and ALP at 1119. He had a seizure on 9/24 and it was the first since March of this year. I stopped all herbs and Frankincense. He's now taking 1250 mg Keppra 3 x day and Prednisone is still 10 mg 1 x day.
I'm worried that the large amount of red meat is compromising his liver even more and creating the weight loss. Can anyone give me some insight on what to do and should I attempt to change his protein to chicken?
