 Morgan had her recheck BAT
A few months ago I did a BAT on Morgan and it came back slightly high. 45 pre and 65 post. its suppose to be below 10 and 20 respectively. She doesn't have a portosystemic shunt but more likely MVD. She is asymptomatic and on a RAW diet.
Two days ago i retested her to see if her results had changed. The pre was 66 and the post was 67. So all in all it stayed the same. The pre was probably a fluke. she might have snuck food without me knowing.
So now i'm wondering if dogs that are fed raw simply have different normal levels. I've heard that they BUN is usually high compared to non raw fed dogs as well (morgan's is, but only very slightly). maybe these "off" numbers are "right" for dogs fed this diet. Not wrong but just held to different standards.
Have any other raw feeders found this to be true??
