My dog has leptospirosis and high liver. Is he going to be okay?

Question

My dog hunter has been healthy for 3 years. All of a sudden he caught lymposporosis. He's been hospitalized for the past 3 days. Since then his kidneys have came back alot said the veterinarian. Just the liver is slightly high still. It started at 900 now it's at 1200. Should I be worried for my baby boy? The vet said she has good hope that he will be fine. I just can't get it off of my mind. Please help, Stressed family. Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Male | unneutered | 2 years and 11 months old | 10 lbs

I can certainly understand being so worried about Hunter. Leptospirosis has a good prognosis if it is caught early and the animal is kept under intensive care the vet hospital. You are doing exactly the right thing by having him stay in the vet hospital, and he will be getting the best care there. Because I can't see him in person, I can't say his prognosis but it is a good thing your vet has good hope he will be fine. The vet would tell you if he had a poor chance. It's ok to be worried and not matter what anyone tells you, you are going to keep worrying about Hunter until he's finally healthy and released from the hospital. Check in with the vet daily, and I have fingers crossed he will be ok!
