I did NOT do the wrong thing.
Either way is fine (giving it or not giving it).
I prefer the Denosyl (or VetriDMG) because it helps protect/heal the liver and any change in the bile acids from it (lowering them) is good but I don't think it always lowers them...not sure. I think maybe they would stay up with a shunt or MVD?
With the Actigall, it can effect the bile acids in such a way that you could redue the BAT and have no idea if the numbers lean toward a shunt or not....
Ellie's post meal was 47 and she went on Denosyl for a month. Her post meal was then 15. I took her off the Denosyl and it went back up to 106 (who knows why). I just think it is possible to get a better reading with a dog on Denosyl then with a dog on Actigall because Denosyl doesn't necessary change bile acid numbers... I hope I explained this okay. I can't keep it all straight, so it is a bit hard explaining.
