A small, spotted cat from Bolivia's cloud forests, first kept as a pet by someone who thought it was a house cat, has been confirmed as a species new to science.
This is a good option, especially given your suspicion that this dog has arthritis and may need NSAID therapy. Bile acid testing is a sensitive test of liver function, and, while it may not identify the etiology, elevated bile acids would confirm that there is impaired function and justify further work-up (i.e. liver biopsy).
