Tink's Liver enzymes have never been normal. I do want to have a BAT done, and as I'll be at the vet's tomorrow evening, I will schedule it then. Why it wasn't done the other day, IDK as I had requested it. Maybe the vet was looking for a more overall health assessment due to the changes in her meds and diet. I thought the BAT was being done, but by the time I found out it hadn't been done, it was too late to do it that day. The surgeon did not find a Portosystemic shunt. Her diagnosis after her surgery was MVD, Bile Stasis, and bladder stones with an E coli infection. Hopefully, her now normal Liver enzymes are telling us that her organs are functioning better than they were before her surgery,

I was reading Lj's post - do you think you still have to do the BATs? I had no idea liver enzymes could be normal! |
I will discuss doing the BAT with the vet. I am more curious than anything... whether it's actually needed IDK, but I will find out.[/QUOTE]
I thought she had multiple inoperable shunts...I am lost in space.
Anyway...that would be nice if all is good.
