I believe that meds can affect BAT results.

Like Ellie May asked, was she on actigall (ursodiol sp?)??

Has she had any other bloodwork done? do you know her ALT?

When you had her tested was she exhibiting any symptoms like inappetance or lethargy?

The only meds she was on was Clavamox, cough syrup, and Zithromax cuz she had a kennel cough. What is actigal?? Yes she had CBC and blood chem done. blood chem was done on 2/21/08, ALT was 49 and the range is 10-118. Her blood chem came out pretty good the dr said. She has NO SYMPTOMS at all. I only got her retested just to make sure. Since the 1st one was high in Aug 07.
