Wilson had some sort of seizure the other day where he was unable to breathe and became very lethargic. We took him immediately to our vet. By the time we got there he was doing a bit better. He has some sort of a tracheobronchitis. As a beagle he is always out sniffing on the run-no matter how cold its been. He had taken some blood tests and all came back well but he said the liver enzymes were elevated-not high-but more than what is normal. What could that mean exactly??

this means that his liver is not working 100% but is not in failure, this may be reversible and may have been cauased by the seizure. monitor drinking, appetite, urination and general behaviour and retest in a few months or before if any of these changes happen. many animals have slightly high levels, but this doesn't mean they are at risk, but it is a good idea to monitor. hope this helps
