My Lacy had high bile acids (but other bloodwork was normal) and she had an ultrasound yesterday and there were several abnormal areas found on her liver...they specifically said abnormal in texture. Her only symptoms have been intermittent vomitting/diarrhea and not eating about once every two weeks...this has been going on for a few months. They are going to do a biopsy on those abnormal soon to hopefully get an exact diagnosis. They were asking me about potential toxins though and i couldn't think of anythings he could have gotten into around the house. But she does lick her paw a lot too... i thought the pesticides they sprayed outside were supposed to be safe for animals the only toxins i can possibly think of for me are frogs (she has attacked some in the past with her mouth), advantage, heartgard or pesticides sprayed outside.

Did your vet consider a biopsy? I hope you can find something out and that she'll be okay
Same thing..He said the texture was abnormal. As for the biopsy we are waiting 2 weeks and doing blood work again and then go from there. She is doing better today. After the 1st night her body adjusted to all the meds so we didn't have to go out as frequent. She is just laying around resting alot, but she perks up when its time to go outside and eat.
