As Dr. Center says in her handout, the importance of having a BAT done at about four months (or before the puppy goes home) is that it can avoid confusion and invasive tests like liver biopsies later on in MVD dogs.
For those of you who breed and have vets who are not aware that the protocol eliminating the 12 hour fasting has changed, have them contact Dr. Center herself for a consultation. Apparently she is very willing to advise both vets and pet owners. |
Ladymom, do you know if Dr. Center would talk to me personally? Not my vet... I don't know if I want to but may need to have some good answers soon.
