I have an 8 year old mixed breed neutered dog. He is asymptomatic and a routine urinalysis last week... 9 months after oxalate stone removal, showed abnormal cells. Cytoligist diagnosed "probable transitional cell carcinoma". I elected to have the V-BTA test which came up negative. I understand this test with a negative means it is highly unlikely the dog has TCC. An ultrasound and x-ray came back normal. His prostrate is slightly enlarged. He is happy, energetic and eats like a horse. No blood in urine, no straining, no pain...etc. The vet wants to do more tests but as far as I know a biopsy is what is left to do but there is no observed mass to biopsy. She is thinking about putting him on Piroxcam "just in case".
Has anyone had this same experience and if so can you shed any light? I am lost and losing it even more.
