I am sorry to hear that Aaron isn’t feeling well. If he has been diagnosed with diabetes then the liver values may improve once you have the diabetes under control. However, depending on how severe the liver disease is sometimes a biopsy of the liver is the only way to obtain a definitive diagnosis and make the best treatment plan. I would encourage you to discuss these possibilities with your veterinarian. Best of luck and I hope he improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
