As it turns out, she cannot have surgery immediately as her liver enzymes were a little high. We are using a particular antibiotic which tends to help the liver shed dead cells and an antioxidant compound to help the liver heal. Some of the abnormal reading may have been caused by the infection and inflammation in her body. She is on antibiotics and anti-inflammatory meds to keep the abscess under control until she has blood retest in a month. Whatever the cost, we will take care of her. Just noted what an expensive area this is. We have had vets in MI, IL, MS, AL, NM, TX and now AZ, and this is the most expensive area we have been in. She has had multiple dentals and the difference between a farm community and the wealthier suburbs is apparent.
