yes which is gall bladder contraction and why i did 3 tests on dd to confirm it - first one then a week later second then 6 mos later on low protein diet a third and it definitely dropped the 3rd one from 73 to 54 then to 26 on low protein diet and last one was done by dr jean dodds who has studied blood work for 40 years so i trust hers was most accurate

but had i followed vets advice my poor dog would have had radioactive dye put in her for no reason as she had no symptoms of mvd or liver shunt just skin allergies and with numbers below 100 no high alt and no symptoms I would not put my dog through scintigraphy so i trusted my gut and glad i did as she has 3 years later had no symptoms just put her on low protein diet - NOW HAD she had symptoms and over 100 I would have done scintigraphy and flown her to ut for surgery with dr tobias no questions asked as i will always get my dogs to the best
