Thanks for the info. I have been thinking about making up a "medical resume" of sorts outlining all of his surgeries and tests and emailing to schools like Cornell or University of Pennsylvania. It is nice to have a name to reference at Cornell. His bile acids before his first surgery were 144 after the eating, can't remember what the fasting were, after the first surgery they came down a good bit, I think his eating one came down to 17, but they didn't stay there before they shot up again to 90. After the second surgery they came down to 5 eating, 4 fasting and stayed there until this last one that came up to 44eating, 44 fasting. Granted, not hugely high, but definitely up from 5! I also know my dog and he just wasn't right, which is why I requested the bile acid test. He has been on the LD diet since his last surgery, and he gets no table scraps or extra food except a couple treats during the day.
