Maybe this has something to do with additional urine tests?
I think if you are going to treat the dog like it has MVD, for the rest of it's life, especially with conflicting BA results, it's a good idea to consider biopsy for definitive results. Personally, I would not want to have my dog on a special low protein diet for the rest of his life, unless I was sure that was what he required.
I was really concerned about doing it for my dog at first and had definitely considered it one of the last things I wanted to do, but having my dog at a place like UT where I knew they had specialists who knew what they were doing and when they could explain the risk vs. benefit helped. They tested him for clotting ability first and then felt comfortable that they could do the procedure.
