Hi folks. I am worried out of my mind. Over the last day or so my 3 yr old lab, Boris has started vomiting. He brought up a small stone on Sunday which was strange as I never throw him stones to fetch for that reason. He has always been a kind of fussy eater. Tried to keep him on dry foods but he will always turn his nose up and favour human food or wet food which is naughty i know. He is a very slim dog but does not look starved by any means. His parents were both workers and too were very slim when we saw them.

The Vets has just called having ran some tests. Everything fine apart from some levels in his liver were higher than they should be by 9 times. This has worried me sick in case it is something really serious. He has not shown any forms of illness until the last day or so and is usually so strong and bullish.

I just wondered if any other lab owners out here could let me know if they have had any similar problems at all.

Thank you.

Rob

Hi

Welcome!

You are obviously very concerned at the moment, as is the way with pets when they are ill, the trouble is they cant talk, which would be so helpful!

What has the vet said about these raised levels and what have they suggested be your next move?

Hi and thank you for your reply.

When he called just after 9 he said he would feed him some oily food to try and see if the levels reduced.

I just cant work it out as he has always been the picture of health and will run all day. The only thing has been his reluctance to eat his own dry food but any other kind he absolutely wolfs down.

I am going to call the vets in a minute to see if there was any update. They didnt want to sedate him for the x-ray on his stomach to check for pebbles because of the liver.

How worrying for you. Have not had any experience of this. Hope everything works out ok. Keep us posted

At least he is in the best place. I am sure the vet will do his best and he will be home in next to no time. Keep us posted
