The BAT is a blood test, costs about $80, you get results the next day.
Please have this done

...My Roxy was 3 when she was diagnosed with MVD (tiny little shunts in her liver). She has to eat special food and take supplements, but she is doing ok.

You might want to join this group too:
DogLiverDisease : Dog Liver Disease

This is a group of wonderful people that are not only terrific for advice and support, but there guidance with experience and a tremendous amount of research is incredible.
Thanks so much for the link---I'll definitly check it out. What symptoms did your Roxy have? How old is she now and is she doing well today??
