I wouldn't be satisfied with in-house results.
She should get blood drawn, eat, then get blood drawn again in two hours and it should be sent to somewhere like Idexx or Antech. She will have to have more blood drawn. To know the exact numbers is quite important because if it is really only 30 or 40 it is likely MVD. If it is over 100 it is more likely shunt although there are tons of exceptions.
