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.
my vet felt strongly too as they are conditioned to test test test but after i did my homework i was like heck no way are you doing this as my dog has never had one symptom of this.

I think sometimes we have to follow our gut and what we feel is best too for our dogs. Educate ourselves and then make the best decision for them but i would not run wild on one bat as too many variables can throw it off
