| Chessie and how her hepatitis is
Hi all,
I posted some time ago that my 9 year old female, Chessie was diagnosed with Chronic Active Hepatitis. I just wanted to let everyone know she is doing much better. Her ALT at first test was around 1200, her recheck was 735 and this past week her retest was 212, under 100 is normal. With all the meds she is on, the vet is pleased she is responding, we are on the right track. We have cut her back on some meds and will be retesting in about 5 weeks with the hopes of cutting back on more providing she is still responding.
Her energy and wanting to play has also come back which is a great sign. She was on a high does of Prednisone at first and that seemed to change her attitude a bit. She is slowly returning to her old self.
Thanks for all your support, just wanted to keep you updated

| Is her CAH a hereditary condition or do you know?
Wonderful news that she is doing so well. May she continue to do well with reducing the meds. | |
