They are performing the BAT test today. I do not know what to do from there if they tell me the liver is not functioning properly. I don't have the money to afford an untrasound right now. Capone doesn't have any symptoms though. He eats, drinks, plays, and his urine and stool are all NORMAL looking and nothing unsual. Do you know anymore about results on BAT test and what they mean?? Thanks -Janine

Janine,

Ellie May and TLC know way more than I on the tests results. It's a wait and see thing. Freddie shows absolutely no symtoms of any kind. I read that dogs are sometimes kept on maintenance meds, i.e., one every other day, just for the aide in liver function.

Hope this helps. I'm trying not to freak out. I have already learned so much from this community. I'm grateful.

Patricia
