Awww. thanks Kathy.  Otis flunked his post bile acid level at 53.  I don't really have the money for biopsy right now. I plan on having the C-protein blood test done in 2 or 3 weeks.  I've been changing his food to L/D for the last 8 days.  What website did you see the stuff about looking at his butt.  I've searched and cannot find anything that lists butt stuff as a symptom.  I think deep down I'm still trying to convince myself its something easy, like allergies, and not MVD.  I did mow last night but he's been licking a few days.  BUT, my grass was REALLY tall before I mowed, so it is a possibility it is irritating him.  He's not seeing imaginary things like he was before, so thats good.  I hope he's not allergic to the food.  I'll just keep my eye on him.  He got his first dose of lactulose tonight.  So I guess I"ll know in a few days if the paw licking, tail down, 'butt looking' resolves, that they were liver issue's.  Thanks for thinking of my little Otis.  I took this pic 2 weeks ago when I took him to work with me(at a doctor's office) because I had started noticing the symptoms and wanted to keep my eye on him.  I kept him in my office, although some patients couldn't resist coming down the hall to see him.
