    Sorry nobody has answered. We have people that could give a better answer than I could. Might do a web search. I could do one and sound like I know more than I do, but you are better off doing you own search.

    A lot will depend on what the source is - basically the need is to worry if its from some kind of disease and can be expecvted to continue.

    Impaired liver function is rough on a dog, and you'll need to consider supportive treatment - which I'm sure your vet will tell you - usually at least some diet changes.

    Good luck - sorry I haven't been around much
