Does Bruno have any symptoms like head pressing, circling, seizures, inappetance, depression?

Post meal bile acids should be under 15 or 20.
Quite often (there are many exceptions though) if it is over 100 it indicates a liver shunt and if it is over 20 but less than 100 it indicates microvascular dysplasia (small shunting throughout the liver that is managed by diet and supplements). Bile acids and liver enzymes can be up for other reasons though.

Was his BUN normal?
