I would not do biopsy as they will not treat your dog any differently if they biopsy and it is much more stresssful on dog and incision is larger and there will be no benefit to the dog.

If no symptoms and bats are below 100 I would not put the dog through this and just feed protein of 22% with no symptoms and 18% if symptoms

my dog had bats of 73, 54, and 26 on low protein diet of 18% and she is fine has gone under anesthesia twice with flying colors and ONLY eats low protein diet and she is on steroids with no issues so I would not put your dog through a biopsy just to say YEP IT IS MVD - you already know it is mvd if bats are over 25 and under 100 and they will always test higher than 25 if they have mvd
