How old is the one with elevated post bats? My next option would be the Protein C test to rule out shunt and then go from there. If the Protein C test ruled out shunt then I would treat as an MVD yorkie and they can be controled by diet and meds. Consult your vet first. But I would request an Protein C test as it's not invassive.

Donna,
Fasting is no longer recommended by Dr. Center's, correct?
