In August I did the BAT for both of them: Roxy Pre = 43 and Post 100.9 TJ Pre = 5 and Post = 43 In Sept. I did a full blood panel on Roxy along with clotting times and urine analysis. We also did an ultrasound. Everything was normal and the u/s showed a normal sized and shape liver. In Oct. I retested both for CBC and BAT. Both their CBC was normal Retest BAT were: Roxy Pre = 10 and Post = 64 TJ Pre = 67 and Post = 21.5 At this point, they show NO symptoms of any kind. They are eating a special homemade diet. They get supplements: Hepatosupport, Vetri DMG, Vitamin E, Fish Oil and Egg Shells for Calcium - daily. I will retest the BAT is 3 months. I do not plan on doing any further testing...unless the BAT go above and beyond. |
ooooooooooooh. She was on antibiotics. I didn't know that. Yes, that could skew the results. I may have considered waiting also then. What food are you feeding? |

My Cali has very mild MVD diagnosed confirmed by a liver biopsy. SHe requires no treatment but is a very laid back dog and has health issues a lot. I am starting her on a holistic regiment of supplements to see if we can get her inbetter health. Good luck |

Yes, it's possible that antibiotics, vaccinations, flea preventative, heartworm preventative, and any kind of stress to the liver can skew the results. I would wait until everything is out of her system and redo the BATs, so that you're more sure to get an accurate result. |

giving: hepatosupport,vetri DMG, and dermcaps any advise? :D |
The supplements are very good for the liver. I am not sure if 1 month is long enough. What does your Vet say? Also, don't give Heartworm or Tick/Flea meds at least 2 or 3 weeks before the BAT. I held off on Frontline for the entire month. And I waited until after the BAT to give the heartworm. |
30 days is probably fine :) Those supplements that you mentioned shouldn't skew the results, they are good for the liver if in fact she is liver compromised. |
