How accurate is the bile-acid test??? I had my diggy tested after a night of 7 seizures The test showed no shunt. His before fast level was 5 and after a 7. Vet said very low and healthy liver function but low blood sugar therefore leading them to believe hypoglycemia. He was 9 weeks when he had the seizures now at 11 weeks, diet change, constant meals, and nutrical no more episodes at all. I read on here about Liver shunts all the time and it breaks my heart. I go back to seeing those dreadful seizures and become panic stricken all over again. So basically I want to know if bile-acid test is extremely accurate.
Faith...when you feed him foods higher in protein does the baby seem to be worse?
when you said your getting blood test tomorrow, is the blood being tested right htere or does it have to be sent off? I searched and searched for a place that did on site testing. My vet had to send it to Michigan State for results and would take 3-5 days for results....I did not want to wait and with persistance I found a brand new pet hospital that did do the bile-acis testing there. I dropped him off at 9 and had him back in my arms by noon. I guess I just wanted to let you know results can be same day of you search out the right vet, maybe your is immedite results too (i hope) As I am sure you are anxious for an answer. I pray for you and your fur baby. Best of luck and PLEASE keep us posted.......
