| 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?

Donating YT 30K Club Member | 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.

| 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.

So, who did the BAT? The Petstore Vet or Your Vet? Has Your Vet actually seen the pup yet? | |
