I wouldn't want to go through that.

My vet suggested we do an ultrasound instead of BAT. He said this is a better way to detect a for liver shunt. Do you think we should do the ultrasound instead of a BAT? I've heard more discussion about Bile Acid Testing than ultrasound....so I'm wondering which is better?
Well, since Sharon Center has devoted her career to LS and she suggest BAT, I'd go with that and a CBC. Good for you and your girls. This makes me so happy. I also think an ultrasound might be a lot more expensive.
