Went in for my HIDA scan on Tuesday. Fully expecting to get “normal” results as none of my tests have ever showed any issue despite having RUQ pain on and off for years, regular diarrhea, etc.

The test itself was fine, no discomfort during it. I fell asleep.

I was so shocked to get results that showed my EF was 28% and a diagnosis of biliary dyskinesia. I have known my gallbladder was a problem for years but no tests results until now ever could catch it.

I have a consult with a surgeon on July 28th and I am hoping to wait until winter for the surgery.

Dog is currently with a foster and it is doing well with people, other dogs, walking, and only goes to the bathroom outside. He is not yet neutered but will be.

One behavior I've been made aware of is that he has been resource guarding in certain situations (not always) with specific items, like toys. Foster admitted that he snapped at him but it was his fault as he pushed the dog's comfort and they have been working with him since then. Dog has been showing improvement and foster is able to get closer to him while he has the item.

I've trained puppies out of resource guarding but not an older dog. Do you have any tips?
