We just had a bile acid test done on my yorkie Samie. Her levels came back a little high as well. Before eating she was 15.0 and after eating she was 25.0
I always ask for a copy of every lab work results for each of my two girls. Sometimes the vet doesn’t go into detail with numbers and values and I want to see it all!! I have also started a 3 ring binder that contains every thing in there too. We have been through a zillion tests this past year and I decided that I want to keep track of all of this and have it all when I decide to research myself.
On my report here normal values for bile acid show the “pretest” – anything “less than” 7.0 umol/L and bile acids post prandial- less than 15.0 umol/L
Our vet put Samie on antibiotics (and on the prescription bottle is says for possible “liver infection”) she said she was doing this because she was just being over cautious… and she also wanted to start her on supplements -1 tablet every 24 hours. It is called Denamarin. This is fairly new to us (just last week) but I researched it (I research on line before I ever give them any kind of medication) I have found the Denamarin to be a “supplement”. I would ask your vet about this.
