Roxy: Bile Acid Test

[Connie]

Nicole...I feel so bad for you and wish I could give you a big hug! I know how one's mind can race thinking the "what if's," and my heart goes out to you! Try to think positive and hopefully there will be an explanation as to why her numbers are so off. My sister's yorkie was always off in his bloodwork numbers for no known reason. He lived to his expected lifespan, plus more. I will be praying that all is well and you'll feel a lot better after seeing the vet.

I will keep you bith in my prayers. I went through the same thing with Cali. She had 2 bile acid tests the first ine was like 0;
/95 and the second was 0/39 and she had the utrasound and that showd no external shunt and the liver was normal looking. Then I had the liver biopsy and it came back that she had very mild MVD or internal shunt. She needed no treatment but I do watch her protein intake. So try not to get to upset until you talk to the vet. Good luck
