Crap. I'm sorry to hear this. How old is she? Seeing them suffer is brutal. I hope she is ok. How big is she? I'd keep her on dry food as long as possible. Well the good news is that her test is just a little over normal. I think normal is up to 20. It may be 25. It could be like 15-25 for normal, depending on the dog. Dogs with LS and MVD have acids over 100. So it's really not too crazy today.
