i have to say i do not think they are accurate and i would not spend money on it myself as i helped a dog on here who had a protein c test done and it came up negative for shunt and the dog had 4 shunts when tobias opened him up after i referred him to tobias and she could not repair him - the protein c test was sent by a well respected ims (who dr dodds has a lot of respect for as i asked if she knew this person)to texas a & m so not sure if that was the problem as it was not sent to cornell like the dog owner requested
I would save my money and go straight to scintigraphy if it were my dog after that as scintigraphy is much more indicative of the shunt and if protein c test comes up positive anyway they will send the dog for scintigraphy anyway and after seeing this happen with this dog i strongly question the protein c test now
