yeah, this is basically where I am right now... I feel like I
already know she has MVD, I dont need a test to tell me and if the specialist I went to hadnt put her through a battery of tests for a problem that is now cleared up, I would never have known about the MVD and would have spayed and continued along as if she never had it. I mean I am glad I know now because I was able to get her on a low protein diet while she was still young but I feel like it is better to just leave it at that for now.
