I took Royce 2 weeks ago to the vet campus in Montreal, they run a whole bunch of tests and did an ultrasound as well :
As per the ultrasound Royce doesnt have an external or internal shunt however they didnt rule out Microvascular Dysplasia ( MVD ), he alsohas a bladder stone
As per Urinalysis and blood test results : Royce has a minor renal insufficiency and MVD is not ruled out yet as his liver enzymes are slightly high.
At the vet school they recommended that Royce has surgery to remove the baldder stone and to do the kidney and liver biopsies ....
My vet who is terrific suggested that we wait and redo the tests in 2 weeks to see if there is any change in the values ...if they went back to normall no need to worry, if the values still the same wait another month and redo the blood tests ...if the values ( Bun, creatinine and alt for liver enzymes ) are higher then he will proceed with the biopsies ...
Thank you for asking about Royce
