The reason I ask is b/c when a BAT is done, the dog has to be fasted. They draw blood, then feed him something and he has to sit for 2 hours and then they draw blood again. The results give you a Post # and a Pre #

So I am confused, b/c if he was going in for a neuter, I don't think they would do an actual Bile Acid Test, b/c if he was going under Anesthesia they wouldn't feed him

It sounds like he was fasted for surgery and a blood panel and bile acid test was taken on that morning his surgery was to take place. So I think he just had a single fasted bile acid test.

The OP was originally taking him back to the vet today to have a paired bile acid test taken so they could get a post result as well.
