I was ok (so is my Vet and Specialist) with basing Roxy having MVD from her "numerous" high BATs, Protein C test, and the barely visible symptoms that she displays. I didn't need that "true" confirmation of MVD, because how we proceeded with her life long after care was going to be the exact same regardless. But that's me  |
i always thought scintigraphy was 100% accurate until Ginger as scintigraphy at dr tobias showed shunt they opened her up no shunt
although i feel it is more accurate than ultrasound and protein c test I was shocked on Ginger that it showed yes and then nothing when they operated so that really bummed me out
