I spoke with Freddie's vet this morning and asked her about the BAT test. She wants to keep him on the Sam-E for the month and then retest. I was still concerned about his diet and the lack of nutrients. So she has ordered some Hill's l/d for him ( they obviously don't keep it in stock). And we'll see how he'll eat it. Like I said before, she our new vet and she doesn't know how all this is affecting my OCD !!! lol

Bought a "pill popper" or some call it a "pill gun" in order to get him to take his meds. Still no signs or symptoms of anything wrong with him.

Thanks so much TLC for the info on your nutritionist. Will hold off on contacting after the next blood work / possible ultrasound and biopsy.

I did read somewhere on the web that an infection can cause elevated enzymes. She put him on antibiotics for a week prior to the scheduled teeth cleaning because she saw some infection in and around is gums. Also, previous vet always checked him for infected anal glands and last year that was a mess to clear up. Took him in every week for them to expel the gland. He show no signs of distress, i.e., scooting his little butt across the floor,etc. But then, he never has.

Sorry for the lengthy post, just trying to get out as much info as I can with hopes of receiving as much as I can. OCD !!!!!

Thanks again everyone. I do love my babies.
