those numbers are close to 100 - what percentage of protein are you feeding now and have been for last 30 days? Over 100 indicates shunt - however if you are feeding a high protein diet then the test can be skewed a bit and since you are close to 100 I would feed 18% protein and retest in 30 days. With the urine issue though that is a tough call as that is a symptom of shunt as well so this is a tough one as there was another little guy on here having uti issues as well and turned out to be a shunt but his numbers post were much higher than your dogs.
Are you close to university of tennesse where dr tobias is as if you are it is much cheaper to do testing there and honestly ultrasound is a waste many times as it is hard to see a shunt on a tiny dog unless they are really good like dr tobias group. It is better to do scintigraphy as that test is way more accurate
If this was my dog I would call dr tobias and dr center and do a phone consult with them immediately and i would fax over all vet records for both to review then decide which way to proceed from there |
