|  Quick question about Bile Acid test 2 of my fids are going in for their BATs in the morning but I don't remember if it's no food and water over night or just no food. Does anyone know? |

| Thank you. I thought water was o.k. but I wanted to be sure before I put everyone to bed and I just couldn't remember from the last time they went. |

This is from Dr. Center: "Dogs DO NOT need to be fasted for 12-hours to conduct this test. The important issue is to test BEFORE and 2-Hrs after FEEDING to fully evaluate the dogs ability to extract bile acids from the portal circulation." PSVA and MVD Research Summary "7. Random "Fasting" Bile Acids ARE NOT reliable for RULING OUT liver dysfunction or abnormal portal circulation. Rather, you need PAIRED SAMPLES AROUND A MEAL. We no longer collect 12-hr fasting bile acids but instead collect a bile acid sample before a meal (pre-meal) and 2 hours after a meal (post-meal or postprandial)." (all emphasis was added by Dr. Center, not me) | |
