How do you do bile acid test at 10 to 12 weeks as a 12 hour fast is required? I would be terrified of hypoglycemia to not feed or water a pup that young and small for that long.
My Vet recommended 6 months or more of age. You get more true results except perhaps in severe liver problems as I understand it, because the liver has more time to have to work on its own 6 or 7 months after being born rather than a short period of time.
