I had just changed Jack to the Chicken Soup food, which he loves. I stopped giving him people food. He and I are now on a walking program to get him out for exercise. Though he is a quite active dog, he probably needs more exercise.
With all the knowledge you fine people have, what would you do? If this were your Yorkie, what steps would you take? |
That is a nearly normal number. I'm not sure why the vet would have you use L/D. Fifteen postprandial or lower is Idexx's reference range but Dr. Center (who developed the bile acids test) says 25 and uder is normal. I would personally probably redue the test in a month and see what you get. That is really right on the line.
