Gallbladder Mucoleles increase ALT, AST, ALP, & GGT

Increase in Bilirubin & decrease in Albumin = need for diagnostic imaging and hepatic biopsy.

Tink has increased ALT & AST (544 & 299 respectively) GGT hasn't been done, ALP/SAP is wnl, preprandial BAT=44.8 (<10) = possible Gallbladder problem, postprandial BAT=126.7 (<20) not too far from 100 or less (=MVD)

So I have lots to ask my vet... poor man.... not!
great observation and makes sense as dd had normal alt etc but bats were off and she is mvd
