If it's not, then they can do the biopsy (which should be 3 samples, each at a different site and not just 1 sample, right Crystal??) at the same time as the spay. Maybe that's not exactly right...Ellie May, Yorkieluv, and Ladymom could tell you for sure.

I've been reading this entire thread today.....just got my baby's BAT back.
Resting SBA = 243.0 (Reference Range: <13)
Post-Prandial SBA = 72.6 (R.R.: < 25)

I'm a little puzzled why the Resting is so high....she hadn't had anything to eat since the night before and they drew the labs at 7am???

Again, her 1st set of labs on 10/31 came back with ALT = 302...essentially, everything else (BUN, Creatinine, ALKPH, etc...) was normal.
Her 2nd set of labs on 11/17 came back with ALT = 347....again with essentially everything else normal.

So, what do the experts think?? What should be my next step? Protein C? I haven't done a urinalysis since it hasn't been recommended to me AND since her BUN and Creatinine have been normal.

Should I get her started on a low protein diet? I'm leaning toward yes....
...honestly...I would consult with Olga at the Yahoo Group - that woman is filled with sooooooooooo much knowledge about all this she really needs to consider becoming a Vet and Nutritionist.

...she and Yorkieluv and Ellie May have truly helped me to go on the right path with Roxy
