Thanks so much everyone. You are all such a wonderful help!

The breeder took Lucas' test results as well as Izzy's (his sister) test results to another vet she goes to and he took blood from Izzy and did an ultrasound, both looked normal.

We will be getting Lucas' full blood work done to see if anything is out of whack, and go from there.

Based on the bile acid results, the other vet said that this litter may just have some higher levels and that it may not even affect their lives whatsoever. He basically said not to panic, as sometimes bil acid test alone can be inconclusive.

I am going to change Lucas' food because right now he is on grain free and a bit higher protein so we'll deifnitely be watching his protein intake and doing as you said with only feeding healthy treats like fruits veggies etc.

He is such a healthy dog he has no symptoms or any problems at all (except maybe an unhealthy love for nostrils! ) So I'm very optomistic about his blood work etc.

Again, thanks so so much for all your help. Lucas is sending mucho smoochies to all of you!!! I'll update after we get his bloodwork done. You ladies are the BEST!!
