| How many times has he vomited? Is the blood red or black? How many times has he had diarrhea? Are his gums pink?

| My concern is that he had blood in both vomit and diarrhea...His blood work showed an elevated enzyme in liver...What could this mean?/ |

| Was that the only thing abnormal about the bloodwork? If his liver enzymes are up, he needs to be bile acids tested for a liver functioning problem (i.e. liver shunt). Are you sure he didn't get into anything? Did the vet check lipase and amylase? Normal?

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I posted in the other thread, I didn't know you had already been to the vet, but I would get him in as it could be HGE and he may need fluids and medicine. Keep us posted.
