Just got Logan's bile acid's test results. The pre-meal bile level was 35, and it's supposed to be less than 10. The post-meal level was 75, and it's supposed to be less than 20.

I'm waiting for the vet to call me back to see where we go from here. They are recommending an extremely low protein diet, 5-6% per serving, which the tech said can be found only by prescription (and is probably junk, in my opinion).

This is so horrible. I'm calling the vet/breeder as soon as he returns from lunch. I don't know if he will help us out or not, but I'm going to find out what he is willing to do. His reputation is on the line right now.
