So, I just got the results from the BAT today the pre was 4.5 and post was 45
. This indicates that it is elevated. My vet said it’s not elevated enough to indicate a liver shunt that is operable. He is still pushing for the liver biospy.
At this point, I asked for a recommendation for a specialist. I was not aware you could choose your own specialist and ask your vet for a refferal. I just feel like I need a second opinion. As much as I want to do everything I can to find out what is wrong with Capone, I would hate to put him through any unnecessary surgeries.
One positive is that his ALT levels have dropped from the 500’s that they were in April to 280 so that’s something, not much but something.
