Welcome to YT. My Cali has a very mild case of MVD. She did not present with a lot of the typical signs. She was barely eating, having stomach issues and having hypoglycemic episodes. Her bile acid's the first time were like 0 pre and 80i sh after. On retest they were 0/47. She had a liver biopsy when spayed and they determined she had mild MVD. I have kept her on a lower protein diet and she has done very well. She is going to be 8 in June. I know her internal medicine specialist told me that usually bile acids over 100 are more likely to indicate a liver shunt and under 100 to be MVD. I would have him retested and take him to a internal medicine vet if the levels are still above normal. I hope it is just a fluke and he recovers fully from this episode.
