I posted a few weeks ago that Hamish had been tested for kidney problems and the results indicated liver problems (low red blood cell count) so they prescribed 14 days of antibiotics (Baytril) plus Hepato support and Zenotil Advanced (SAMe).
He went back for more blood tests today and the vet has just called to say that the liver enzyme count has worsened so they want to try another 14 day course of some different antibiotics plus continuing the Hepato support (but stop the SAMe as they didn't help).
They admitted they don't know exactly what the problem is, but want to try to see if it could be bacteria issues first before doing more intrusive procedures (ultrasound etc.).
I am just a bit concerned about the volume of antibiotics he's now had so far this year (this will be his fourth lot) and if they could cause him more problems?
