The protocol for bile acid testing is on the YTCA website. As I said before, this should be routinely done on affected breeds like Yorkies even if they are asymptomatic. http://www.ytca.org/health_CenterQue...xpress2010.pdf
In order to find out what is causing Oliver's urinary problems, you have to start eliminating possible causes. Liver disease is one of them. |
well thank you, i was going to try another vet anyways. i dont know about where you live but the vets here in ny do not know much. all they care about is raking you over the coals. i am in this thing with oliver for 1,000 and i have no idea what the heck is going on. when i get it done i will print this out for him. just in case
