Lecture Title: A case-based approach to the canine patient with increased liver enzymes.
Summary: The presentation is a case-based interactive approach to the canine patient that presents with evidence of acute vomiting, anorexia, and lethargy. A history of potential exposure to multiple toxins and increased liver enzyme activities makes acute toxic hepatopathy a possibility. The diagnostic and therapeutic approach will be explored and discussed, including the use of antioxidant nutraceuticals.
