Thirty-five post is not all that high. It is even possible that her gallbladder contracted during the blood draw skewing the results. Were her liver enzymes good? BUN? Has your vet mentioned Protein C testing? An ultrasound couldn't hurt, especially to look at her bladder, but it would only be 60-80% accurate for shunt diagnosis and that is with a skilled sonographer. Sometimes they are considered a waste of money in this case.
