Yes it does because she is a bit young to bile acids test.
I guess if it were me I would retest when she gets a bit older (probably around 6 months) and ignore the results you just got. If it is under 25 next time, that would be normal. If your vet sends it to Idexx though and you go with their reference range, the vet may pressure you to do more testing. I would absolutely not do an ultrasound right now. If she shows any symptoms before then, I might retest early but that post really isn't concerning.
About the vet, I'm a bit surprised that he/she would tell you to get an ultrasound for a post only a few points over reference range. This was sent to Idexx or Antech, right? Or was it a Snap test in the office?
When my Yorkie's post went to 106, we then decided to do an ultrasound (which are often inconclusive by the way). When her post was 47, we tried to get it down with diet and supplements.
