bile acids post pranidial results: 42.9
reference range: 0.0-14.9 umol/L
flag: H
(I have no idea what this all means)
I'm also looking at her bloodwork she had done the day before that and noticed there were some highs/lows. They were:
Bun:28- high
B/C ratio: 35- high
MCV: 79-high
MCH: 26.1-high
neutrophil seg: 49-low
lymphocytes: 48-high
monocytes:2-low
eosinophil: 1-low
absolute eosinphil: 94-low
(I'm not sure if all these matters or not since when vet called, she said Bella's blood work came in normal)
I'll also have to go to two specialist since the one in Santa Rosa, CA does internal med and neuro but their MRI price is way expensive and the one place in Roseville, ca only does neuro.
I was thinking I'll go to the place in Santa Rosa for Bella's liver shunt and the one in Roseville for Bella's neuro tests.
With her BAT results, do you think she'll have to continue eating prescription food forever or can I just feed her low protein food?
If anyone can please explain her BAT results to me since the vet was with a client when I picked up her records.
Thanks! |
with those bats I would skip internal medicine and just go right to neurologist as those bats are not bad at all which is what i thought
she is pre 15 and post 42.9 and this is what i was afraid of - go to neurologist you want to see they know about liver shunt too as it affects brain but my gut all along is this is neurological and not liver shunt. She probably has MVD not LIVER SHUNT - my dd was post 73 then 54 and then 26 on low protein and she never did this and she is on steroids and soloxine two drugs that affect liver so get her to the NEUROLOGIST he will get to the bottom of this - save your money see the one specialist that knows about both
