I had actually come across that thread you mentioned...it has a ton of interesting information, especially with regards to different liver/gallbladder disorders and corresponding bloodwork values. I've been combing through that article you linked. It's so hard to even know what Toki has going on... her BAT values were under 100 and she has no symptoms...what if they don't find anything with the ultrasound? Will we have to do a biopsy? Or will they just give her medication and retest her values later on to see if anything has changed? Monday seems forever away. More time to do research though so that I can ask my vet appropriate questions and not spaz out on her.
