I don’t have any experience with this, but I think your “does she need biopsies?” question is an appropriate one to ask the vet before one is performed. What, exactly, is the vet looking for by doing a biopsy and why is that suspected?

I understand that the fluid in your girl’s abdomen is abnormal, and one cause could be cancer, but there are other possible causes. The only abnormal test result I see is the one, slightly low, albumin test, but that could have been the result of several days of gastrointestinal upset.

If this were my dog, and she seemed to be feeling better now, I would proceed cautiously with invasive testing until/unless the vet can give you sound justification for that testing.
