Add my prayers, too, for all of you.

I really don't know anything about liver function tests in dogs, but is it possible that the new r/o diagnosis is because of the changes in her blood levels? If it were a gall bladder issue, is surgery the only option?

My dogs had stomach trouble from most NSAIDs, but thankfully no liver issues.

And just throwing it out into the mix since this thread has gone to doggie arthritis generally - my dogs showed little to no response to oral glucosamine/chondroitin, but the one of them who had the shots (Adequan) did really well on those. It's a tradeoff though, because they have to get the shot monthly, and it's IM, so it's a bit painful for the dog.
