<p>The vet mentioned the possibility of doing an “ultrasound guided biopsy” when we spoke this morning. I hesitate because 1) the nearest place that does it is in New Haven, an hour and a half away, 2) the results wouldn’t be available for 3 weeks and therapy would need to start right away 3) her history suggests that it wouldn’t be anything BUT Lyme Nephritis. I can choose to do it if we want to, but I’m not sure how it would be valuable. Thoughts?</p>
<p>As I understand it, the therapy would consist of Doxycycline (which she started last wednesday), Omega-3 fish oil in pretty high doses, a low dose of aspirin, and immunosupressants (ie, steroids). That’ll begin as soon as possible.</p>
