Some advice please! We have been medically treating my dear Lilly for elevated bile acids since 2/09. My little lilly is 4# and just turned 2 in April. We came across Lilly's elevated liver labs when having her fixed. in 2/2009 her post level was 58. Since then I have been giving her lactulose with her food twice daily. She has been on an L/D since then as well. I mix the wet and dry together. We repeated her levels in 2/10 which post was then 98.7. She had been getting into my golden's food so wanted to wait 6 months and repeat with a strict diet. Her labs now are fasting 219 and post eating 138.3. I am devastated. I really thought it would be lower this time. The vet is prescribing her metroniadozole twice daily. I need to figure out the next step. Lilly is my baby and I want to do what is right. I live in Wisconsin and the closest specialist is in Madison. Anyone have suggestions or advice? Metronidazole I thought was an antifungal and confused how this will help her. Prayers are needed. I feel so lost.
