Has a urine culture been done to rule out infection? That is usually the first step with protein in the urine.
I have honestly never heard of doing a renal biopsy on a dog. Not saying it could not be done, but I doubt the value of it overall. I think they can diagnose and treat without doing that but a specialist would best answer that.
I have had pups with PLN (protein losing nephropathy) and they all were on meds and the blood pressure needs to be monitored.
The fact he has cushings may weigh in on all of this......I would definitely see an internal med specialist.
