Personally I would not waste the money there, they have been done but it to
me may not be clinically significant, I still thnk this is biliary
obstruction not primary liver disease and all bile acids do is tell you if
the liver is functionling, it doesn't even tell you if it is reversable or
not, either surgery or ultrasound is your best choice. Good Luck. This is
just my thoughts from my experience it is up to you and your vet to decide,
and I will leave it there. Best to you.
