Should we pursue more testing? Any help would be appreciated. |
Your Yorkies are a bit too young for the bile acids test to be 100% accurate.
I would say that if no meds were given to the female a week or two before and her post was 44, there may be a problem like microvascular dysplasia. Liver problems can't be ruled out with that number.
