| Still Waiting for Bile Acids Retest Results Logan had his blood drawn Tuesday morning, and it was sent off the same day for testing. Still, two days later, no results. I'm sitting on pins and needles. Hopefully they will call tomorrow. I just had to "vent." |

Logan is STILL pooping in the house. We have tried everything. So, to avoid this, he still doesn't get free reign in the house. He is either in his crate or tethered to his crate with his leash when I'm in the kitchen with him. Or he's on our laps when we watch a movie or TV. | |

| Hoping for good test results. What were his symptoms? I think you are handling the potty training issue the right way. Just keep him with you or close by. I know that has worked for me. I swear sometimes they are just in a little snit and leave a little present as your punishment. Good luck.

| He is 10 months old. He's had no symptoms of liver shunt but pre-op blood work showed elevated liver enzymes, and bile acid levels were slightly elevated. The vet wanted to retest him, so we did that Tuesday. He's been on a low protein diet and two medications. I don't understand what's taking so long. It didn't take this long the first time. |

| What food were you feeding him before he was tested the first time? Just curious if it was one of the higher protein foods.

| I was feeding him a very high protein, no grain food - Evo. I've heard that high protein foods can cause elevated liver enzymes, so I'm hoping that was the only problem. STILL no word. I'm trying not to call the vet's office because I made a pest of myself yesterday. But, I really don't understand why it's taking so long. Sorry. I have little patience, as you can see |

| Understandable. This is very important and the delay does seem overly long. Do you feel you could ask your vet to call the lab to see what the hold up is? Things do get lost and misplaced. It would be a shame if you were waiting and there was a problem at the lab with the sample.

| I hope everything turns out okay The waiting is the most difficult part of it Hopefully, it was because of the high protein , and he is not ill. My thoughts are with you |
