Banfield is not really a good place, too many horror stories, over vaccinations and unneccesssary testing.
The BAT they did was an in house test and pretty unless. The highest it goes is "above 30" which is a waste, bc you need to know the exact numbers to guide to normal, mvd or liver shunt.
That "above 30" could be 35 or 50 or 90 or 120 or 300
I hate it when they waste money, waste putting babies tru a fast and blood draw for the usless in house BAT tests.
Please change to a private vet who is familiar with small breeds.
