I am sorry for the stress that this has brought on you. I can remember how devastated I was when I too was surprised with news that my pup could have a problem. I got so much support from YorkieTalk members at that time, and one of the most powerful things one member told me is "this is not a death sentence, this is something that can be managed". It took me a long time to relax and have confidence, and now Tiki is almost 7 and doing very well.
Scoobstersmom Diana has such good advice for you. Your vet will be your guide, but we are here to support you.
I am curious, was the pre-op blood work done on the day of dental cleaning in house, or was it a more extensive blood test that was sent out a week earlier? When was the bile acid test done, and was it done fasting? There certainly are a few things that can affect results.
