I do both a full blood panel and the bile Acid test, but they are not guaranteed (not full proof). This is all we have a the time that is not invasive. Only a biopsy is accurate, but I am not going to have this done on a healthy, happy, bouncing puppy. Since the Bile Acid test and full blood panel is all we have at this time - I do screen, since it is all I can do at this time. I also screen parents before breeding.

My vet also stated that if you ever have a bad reading wait a few weeks and retest. He has seen a positive result go to a negative.

Dog food high in protein can also give a wrong reading too. You should stay in the range of about 20 precential of protein on your food. You should not go in the 40% range, via my vet and I agree.

They are hoping for a genetic code in only one year away from now. But they hope for this. I will be happy when we do eventually have it and know better.
