Ok I will talk to the vet about a bile acid test (thats all the poor baby needs is something else wrong with her) I hope not but I will have her tested. He put her on antibiotics to slow down her liver I guess is what he said. So maybe she does have issues there.

Thank you
The giving of nutrical if an episode comes on is important because it can bring her out of it however it needs to be followed by feeding a protein. It is really the feeding of several small meals throughout the day that will prevent it. That is unless she has liver shunt then proteins cant be obsorbed properly in the liver
