I don't know why the first one was so high nor do I know why Ellie's was. It could have been the meds but 95 is too high to take chances. It could be anything having to do with liver function that would make it go up. IC.. U KNOW SOMETIMES I WONDER IF THE VET DID THE TEST RIGHT. HMM..
I am not going to say to stop testing if the next BAT is fine. If the reading was 10 or 20 points high then I might say that it was no big deal but with a reading of 95, I would always have it in the back of my head that there is a problem... That doesn't mean there is, it would just concern me. | OK, SO SHOULD I TEST HER EVERY YR? WHAT DO U DO W/ELLIE?? |
