Jett is coming home today!!! I could cry

They did a final blood test to make sure his liver is recovering

ALT is at 350 today, from 540 on Sunday, from 1700 last week. Normal is <130
GGT is at 2, which is normal, from 10 on Sunday, and 14 last week
Biliburin (the stuff that gives you jaundice) is at 51, from 142 Sunday, 112 last week. Normal is <15

So 2 days after removing the stones and gall bladder, his liver is showing signs of recovery already. He ate food overnight!

He's still not out of the woods yet, we need to make sure his pancreas heals up. But he was SO close to dying, it feels so good to have him home again. The longest he's been away from home is just a few hours to get his teeth fixed after an accident, and once for a checkup after another accident (cats)

Can't wait just to sit with him in bed all day today

Thanks again everyone for your support during these hard times. Big hugs to the RS fam

Edit: Now that we know he's healthy we can start freaking out over the costs... Everyone in HK got $10K this year, so we spent our $20K already on the two vets who gave us the runaround for the first 3 days. This current vet gave us a $5K break because of that (they're the vet my wife's dog rescue company is partnered with), but it's still around $30K for the surgery alone. We'll find out what the total bill is, I expect it to be around $45K or so.

So yeah after the holidays I'll be looking for another job

If anyone here knows someone in HK hiring for coffee roasting or even bartending...
