I believe Dr. Center is scheduled to lecture at the 2008 specialty. That may clear up some of the confusion over the BAT test. |
I understand, however, Dr. Centers does further explain a better read is obtained at 6 months of age.
It is also known that acquired LS can show up later in a dogs life.
What I'm really excited about is the DNA testing that will determine the carriers. Bile Acids at this time will tell you if your dog has or doesn't have LS, but does not tell you if your dog is a carrier.
