I've never heard of a problem with this.
What symptoms is your pup having?
If the BAT is over 100, it is probably time to do further testing, especially if this is a young dog.
They are up that high for a reason... |
it is radioactive dye shot into butt and the dog has to stay all day to make sure the dye is out of the system before you can take them home. I would not put mine through this with no symptoms personally and those bats are slightly over 100 and the gall bladder could have contracted causing the bat to be off if only done one set of bats so to put a dog through this I personally would not but that is jmho and why i chose to not put my dog through it when the vet wanted me to with bats of 73 i said uh no i will go do my research and go from there. Now had dd had symptoms by all means i would have put her through it or if her bats were way over 100 then yes but i think they are too quick just like my vet was who is a phd from ucdavis to run and do this test and dd is just fine 3 years later still no symptoms and her bats went from 73 to 26 on low protein diet
