We decided to get a second opinion from another (more senior) vet at our practice. Looks like Nova may not have PKD afterall. The second vet - more confidentially - looked at his blood and urine work ups. He put him on anti-biotics - and new anti-direaha medications - and presto! Nova has a healthy appetite, no more blood in his urine - solid stools - tons of energy - and a happy disposition. The vet wants us to finish thes last few days of antibiotics and then retest - he believes the infection in his body could have caused the billyruben in his urine - and his slightly off blood work.
Here is to hoping that he makes a quick recovery. My plans for him to get an ILP through the AKC and compete as an agility/rally/obedience dog may come true afterall (and man does he need the exercise!).
