Giving antibiotics is fine but I'd be very surprised if they significantly lowered the bile acids test results. Even if they were low the next time, there would still be concern that another draw would give you high results (that happened to my girl).
You could redue the BA if you want with paired samples but since you already know they are high, you could also just go straight to a Protein C Test. If the vets are going to recheck BA, then yes, they absolutely should be done in paired samples.
While the BUN is in reference range, it is a bit low which can indicate a liver issue.
