possible shunt? So, I had Luna bile acid tested along with a urinalysis for her crystals. The after serum was high, 35 with a norm of 25 I think. The vet is going to call the lab to verify and see if that indicates a shunt even though the dog is fine and had normal pre-food values. He also mentioned the crystals are more common in a shunt dog. He said we will probably have to have an ultrasound done to verify (the ultrasound is done by a traveling vet that spends a day in each vet office once a month). So what do you all think? Also, there is a competitor vet that has an ultrasound in his office, is it bad form to break from my reg vet that has treated her so far to seek an ultrasound from this other one? I hate to do that, but the traveling one charges twice as much and is only here one day a month. He gave her antibiotics for the urine, and I will be switching her food to Wellness and her water to distilled. Anything I am missing?
