I have a seven year-old, male neutered, golden retriever who presented for routine lab work two days ago. His liver values have been either low normal or slightly below the normal reference range for the past 3 lab work dates, along with his decreasing thyroid levels. He is asymptomatic other than seasonal allergies. Do you think, without any further testing, that this could be a case of blood deficiency? And if so, would you recommend starting with Cessorex vs Happy Wanderer? He is not on a whole food diet despite my recommendations.
I was unable to attach pictures here or in the case studies, but I tried! I’m sorry :)
