Now had dd had symptoms by all means i would have put her through it or if her bats were way over 100 then yes but i think they are too quick just like my vet was who is a phd from ucdavis to run and do this test and dd is just fine 3 years later still no symptoms and her bats went from 73 to 26 on low protein diet |
...and I wouldn't want to put mine through it either, but if this vet is concerned, I can't say that the test shouldn't be done. If it were mine, I'd see the symptoms and talk to the specialists and figure out what I wanted to do. But the only advice I can give without being able to diagnose is to listen to the vet school....
Tp the OP: If this were my dog and there are NO symptoms, I'd consider a low protein diet. SAMe, and retesting in 30 days. However, if the vet felt very strongly that this needed to be done, I'd probably go with that.
