If you have to drop her off, then it doesn't sound like a consult , so the report will probably just go to your vet. It would be nice to be able to talk to the internist though because they should know more than your regular vet.
That's what I thought too, although it isn't even a vet internist (can you believe there isn't one in the whole state of Hawaii). She is a Vet Radiologist; specializing in this. I hoped they'd let me watch, but they said no; I understand. But I will press for results asap.

I've been following the other liver disease/bloodwork threads. Interesting to see that test can be skewed by so many things, including method of blood draw. Tiki's BAT pre=2.1 and post=47.5, sometimes makes me wonder if it is leaning toward mild MVD rather than shunt, or some totally different cause. The ALT at 245, and xray showing slightly smallish liver is a huge concern to me. Just hope a definite diagnosis is made soon.
