If you pay for scintigraphy and it shows up you will go to surgery and if you pay for protein c test and it says positive you will still have to go to scintigraphy anyway so to me a waste of money just like i think the ultrasound is a waste of money just like i feel a liver biopsy is a waste of money and too stressful on a dog with mvd as whether they do it or not the dog is still treated the same so why put a dog through that
I had an ultrasound done when Sasha first became sick and there was no sight of a shunt but she does have one so those aren't very accurate either.
