Vibes for good BAT numbers... My Chloe just had her second BAT tests done today, so we are asking for vibes for better numbers this time. If the numbers arent better, her liver will be biopsied when she is spayed in a few weeks but the vet figured we should have one more look at the numbers before we resort to that. So fingers crossed please that her numbers come back better, somehow I dont think they will but I am hoping anyway. |
Good luck! I know the feeling, my Tiki is "liver challenged", and after much testing we don't know for sure but suspect MVD, managed with diet, and still no symptoms. |
(((good vibes)))- I hope that they are better this time:) :):):):) My little Lilly will have her BAT retested in 2/2010- they have been under 100 and no symptoms so far- Diet/supplement management. |

So they came back... resting was now in the normal range... post was 35.3 so still high but not quite as high... now trying to decide if we are still going to biopsy or not. oh the drama these little guys cause :p |

Just curious as I may soon be facing that same question. I have a feeling my Vet will not want to spay her anyway. He'll either want me to hold off or go to a large facility. |

The vet is making a biopsy seem more serious then I realized... they said the incision will be larger (as compared to a simple spay) and the chances for post surgical internal bleeding are very high because of how vascular the liver is... they would perform a clotting factor test beforehand to make sure she is clotting normally but there is still a risk. The vet is also on the fence, since her numbers were better, she may stay symptom free (she never had any symptoms we only found out about this problem in testing for something else). However, the vets concern is if she does show symptoms in a few years down the road we are looking at a second abdominal surgery. If I didnt biopsy I would just keep her on a low protein diet which is what I am doing now and pray she remains symptom free. My vet was going to consult with a specialist I had been seeing prior to this and get back to me, so we will see, I am still not sure what I want to do. |

I might be in your shoes as well as Lucy is symptom free (other than one incident that precipated the testing). So far, my vet hasn't even changed her food. Good Luck to your little girl. Keep us posted. |
