Trina,
How sweet you are to ask about Otis, He flunked his post bile acid level at 53. Doesn't appear to be high enough for shunt, but possibly MVD/HMD. Right now I'm trying to decide what further testing he should have and start saving up for it. He's started L/D food, and I'd like to start him on lactulose asap, but the vet initially said she didn't think it was necessary. But overall, he's doing pretty well. No severe seizures, he just kind of spaces out sometimes.
Thanks again for asking about him. I hope your finding some comfort in knowing you were a good mommy to Lexxi and did everything you could for her.
