She has always been skinny but loves to eat.
She had a severe vaccine reaction just over a year ago.
I tested as a precaution.
The the internist did an ultrasound and her pancreas is inflamed. We don't know if it has anything to do with the high bile acids but I'm guessing no because she had had a day where she threw up tons (about a week before the ultrasound) which I think was pancreatiits. I don't think it has been going on the whole time the BA have been up, so they are probably unrelated.
O wow, sorry to hear that! Y is it that the vets dont have a firm answer to any of our questions?? I wonder that alot. This dr is saying he doesnt know y the test came out to normal cuz he thinks it shouldnt have been normal. He thought she might of had some issues w/her live cuz she had a Torb IV to calm her down when they were drawing ther blood and she didnt start to act normal til 7-8 hrs later. So he suspected she may have a liver issues. I wonder y the blood chem and the BAT came out to normal tho..??
