1. Collect a bile acid sample before a meal (pre-meal) and 2 hours after a normal meal. It is no longer recommended fo fast for 12 hours before first collection or meal. The optimal meal is one of the dogn's regular food. Stuffin the dog, the dob being stressed or frightened can posssibly skew results. The draw can be done one day pre feeding, then the dog can be taken home and fed and another draw done 2 hours post-feeding.
Many things can influence the results. A dog that has been car sick or stressed will test differently. |
Facts for years. Nothing has ever been proven to effective otherwise!
