Her liver function test have always come back normal, but I don't think they ever did a bile acid test. She will be 7 years old in October. She has an upcoming appt. for her teeth, so I will surely ask the vet. She has never had to take meds for her seizures because they are so sporadic and don't last very long. Thanks for the advice
