I agree.
It is easy to do in Texas.
But then it comes down to, I see a huge trend right now. Vets are learning about the Protein C test, getting the results back and still doing more testing...
So it almost seems pointless now.
I think if it comes back normal and MVD is suspected, they will stil want to do a biopsy (unstandably so because normal Protein C doesn't always mean MVD but is the biopsy really worth the risk...probably not).
