Joey has had LFT's drawn which were normal. Also amonia drawn once was elevated. His bile acids have been drawn about 6 times running very inconsistent between 25-120+. Strangley he had a normal result 6 weeks ago which prompted me to hold sugery but then 2 weeks ago it came back at 70. He is on a "kidney diet" dry food without any other supplements or medicatons at this time except the phenobarbital. The vet said if things progress we may need to add Flagyl to decrease bacteria in GI tract. She also said we could hold off on surgery at this point but my fear is that if he becomes symptomatic he would be too sick to survive the surgery. As far as the prior anesthetic goes I am unsure. He was probably given the full gamit of usual drugs since a problem was unknown at that time.
If your pups bile acids are elevated but there is no shunt or MVD how was this determined and what is your course of treatment? Is you little one symptomatic? |
