The liver enzymes are down significantly (not quite within the normal range yet but he is not concerned about it at all) and everything else looks good. I'll speak with him again early next week and post an update. Once again, thank you so much for your input - it has been extremely helpful!
Quick update. Urine results came back negative. At this point, my vet thinks we're dealing with very early kidney disease (not kidney failure). He doesn't think we should do a thing other than monitor it over the next few months.
