I am still not sure yet for Roxy. Her first BAT was 43 (pre) and 100.9 (post). Her CBC and urine, etc. were all completely normal. We did an ultrasound, they didn't see a shunt (although there still could be one) and her liver was of normal shape and size.
I guess it all depends on what the re-test #'s are. At that point, I will see what our Dr. says and then consults with the 'liver' experts over here and on yahoo.
TJ's #'s were 5 (pre) and 43 (post) - I am almost positive that I will not do any u/s or biopsy on him - unless his re-test #'s come out crazy...
For now, they are eating very low protein with supplements (home cooked meals). We tried Dr. Dodd's but TJ doesn't like it, so I have modified stuff.
I do think the idea of 2 people using the 2 different Dr.'s - I might be up for it, but I need to get the re-test results first and then read about both Dr.'s to see if I would be willing to go with their suggestions and such.
