I'm struggling to figure out/find info on ALT and AST levels in greyhounds, are they different to those of other dogs? I done a quick search of the forum and have seen a few topics that say the acceptable range is 5-80 in which case is a result of 140 a concern? He is a 9 year old ex racer and had a dental today as he had some loose teeth. We done these bloods before hand. He takes 200mg l-theanine daily, I doubt this could cause such a reading but just in case I thought I'd mention it. His blood chemistry was as follows; Creatinine - 158 Urea - 2.9 BUN: Creatinine Ratio - 4 ALT - 140 AST - 80 ALP - 101 Our vet has indicated ALT and AST as high and something to be monitored, whilst they are usually greyhound savvy I would like a second opinion. Many thanks for any information.
