Doesn't the VMDB keep track of tests done at university labs? Anyone know if there is a database like OFA for bile acid test results?

the info for bile acid testing you can google under dr sharon center and dr tobias who have done studies on this

Many vets including ours believe all yorkies should be bile acid tested as well as maltese as yorkies are 35% more likely to have shunts. It is a good thing to rule out as it is important to know for meds and anesthesia as well
