If LS, the Lactulose will control the symptoms, and won't skew the BAT results, as can be discontinued as needed... no weening off required.

Also, the description of the 'seizures' sounds more suspect of Hepatic encephalopathy than say a seizure that would occur with epilepsy and similar maladies.

Also, with these pups, is the goofy behavior occuring within 30 minutes of eating a meal?
i am hoping with the battery of tests done that this was done already - yikes if not that would be horrible ;( I was assuming this was done with all the tests she said had been done - so op please advise if bats were done ?
