Wow, bile acid testing should always be done first because if they are normal, you don't need to do a liver biopsy (and you still don't NEED to do one). The kind of liver biopsy they do with the needle/ultrasound isn't really a good way because they can't get a big enough piece of the liver.

I think this vet is doing things backwards.

I would've done the ultrasound because of the stones though.
