 Protein C question--
Several places I've read this test is inaccurate, appears to have been abandoned by many. I'm not seeing the point of the 16 weeks BAT if the picture can change at 6 months. I agree with repeating the test to confirm the original result, but what next? Protein C sounded like a godsend until people started saying it was unreliable. How much testing in too much on a completely healthy looking animal with all other blood values normal? Also, is the unfortunate puppy with the elevated BAT no longer saleable, to be given away as defective goods? Please don't pounce as I know some of you will find the question unspeakably mercenary, but it's an honest one. Do some normal ones have high BATs or are they ALL considered sick? |
