That's interesting. Thank you all.
In this whole case, the only abnormal finding, so far - on physical exam - is the renomegaly. We are working on our refined list of differentials.
1. How to make the client undertsand to go ahead with this work up (Rads + ultrasound + biopsy) somewhere costs around $800 to $1000 when the client questions that the pet is doing well, why we are doing that? I apologize for this question but I face a lot of these clients who ask a lot of these questions. My second reason for this question is whenever we send the radiographs and patients for ultrasound, no specialist gives a straight forward answer, the reports are always in possibilities.
2. In our refined list of differentials, do the patients show any changes in the blood work or clinical symptoms, or do they remain asymptomatic until we do the ultrasound and find this out.
Thank you all.
