Canine Scintigraphy and CT

Copper is a 4 year female old Shih Tzu who had a history of elevated liver enzymes. Copper’s ALT was 700 (rr 0-120), pre bile acids were 84.7 (rr <13), and post bile acids were 256.4 (rr <25). With these lab values, the referring veterinarian was concerned for a possible shunt and Copper was referred to Animal Imaging.
