I am sorry Sabastian is sick. Lepto would be my main concern in a dog with abnormal liver and kidney values. In-house tests for lepto can sometimes have false negatives, and I am sure that is why your vet is still treating with doxycycline. Increased drinking (and so increased urination) is common in pets with urinary dysfunction, such as with kidney disease. It may take several days of treatment before you can see a positive response.
