My Roxy, her first BAT was Pre 43 and Post 100.9 - that was when she was 3 years old. We did about 5 more BATs over her 4th and 5th year, along with a U/S and other blood work, and the Protein C test. She is also pretty asymptomatic, so her Vet and IMS both felt she had MVD. I didn't do anything further, except special diet and loads of liver supporting supplements...

Now Roxy is 7.5 years and still asymptomatic. She needs a dental, so my Vet did a full blood work, including a BAT (since it had been about 2 yrs)...Well...Her Post is 280 Talk about a SHOCK!!!!

We are still trying to figure out what is going on...but I just wanted to tell you that you are not alone And having a liver issue is not a death sentence for these pups

thank you so much, I really needed to hear that! I don't feel so alone and like there is hope.
