I am particularly impressed with that trip you took!!! I travel 45 minutes each way to the specialist and 2.5 hours each way to the vet school and think that is long. You are GOOD!
I am glad you went and have shared this with all of us.
Hope that Toby improves. Did they consider MVD?
Thank you very much! The lengthy trip was well worth it! Yes they did mention that mild MVD is possible but they felt the ammonia tolerance test (pre blood work followed by the dog drinking chocolate milk with ammonia in it and then followed by post blood work) clearly showed that the liver was cleansing and functioning the way it should.
