I will also point out that 16wks is the preferred age to run BATS. And then a repeat at six months.

At this point I agree with the vet that more tests should be run, especially if there is no history of medication that can effect the liver values.

I agree with Linda that a referral to a specialist is warranted. Let them do the specialized testing, they should have the skills and the equipment necessary to give the best opinions.

To the OP, many threads on here about LS. There is also a Yahoo LS support group. Also often times I have heard that scintography is the best diagnostic tool for diagnosing extra hepatic shunts.

But first is not to panic. There probably is no harm in switching to a liver diet; but ask your vet first.

Also if you do decide to go with extra testing at your vet's, make sure by inquiring that any testing done at the general vet's will NOT have to be repeated at the specialist's.
