OK, so the vet called back and he said the pre-test was 3 and the post-test (2hrs after she ate) was 91. They gave me 3 options.
1 - They said they could go ahead and do the spay with minimal drugs (could still be risky)
2 - Do the spay with minimal drugs and do a liver biopsy
3 - Refer me to a Board Certified vet that would have more experience with this then they do.
I'm going with option 3. In some of the literature I read it said that dogs with LS will usually be over 100. Bella is close to that but I'm still hopeful that it's not LS, especially since she acts completely healthy and has no signs of LS. Another said that dogs with PSVA often have at least one bile acid value >200.
I guess I just need to get another vet with experience dealing with this issue and go from there. If anyone has any other suggestions I'd love to hear from you. Thank you all for your input. I'll keep you posted.
