I am so sorry the number is up, Cali was diagnosed with very mild MVD based on 2 Bile acir tests. The first one was 0/92 or close to it and the second was 0/43. We then did an ultrasound that showed no external shunts, then we did a liver biopsy during her spay and she was diagnosed with a very mild MVD. Cali's specialist said in her experience if the BA were under 100 it usually was MVD. When really elevated a external shunt. My 11 year old pom has chirrosis and liver disease diagnosed by blood work, ultrasounds and a liver biopsy. When they did her ultrasounds, they did 2 one to diagnose her and one a couple of weeks ago to see if it was worse due to a grand mal seizure. They had me stay during the ultrasound and showed me where the liver was smaller and had nodules. I believe liver disease is easier to determine. Maya has done well with her meds and is holding her own for now. I pray you get an answer and a good outcome.
