I would highly recommend to those that are testing their pups to follow Dr. Center's & Specialist's recommendation for BAT testing. They are the experts in the field.
Another bit of info, test dogs when they are young. Dogs greater than 4 years of age can have other liver problems that will affect the Bile Acid Test. |
so if differences in stomach emptying another reason i think to have an empty stomach at time of doing it
the whole idea of having a pre is to determine how the liver is functioning without any food in system then the post is to determine how the liver is functioning after food is introduced into the body
