PV doesn't tattoo or anything, so there's really no way to tell.

We had two that we know were PV and one we think was PV:
 
1. Knuks - female, died at age 5 with hemangiosarcoma involving the
mesenteric lymph node.  Had left adrenal removed at 4.  No insulinoma.
(This is the one we're not positive was PV.)
 
2. Bosco da Gama - male, died at age 4 with lymphoma.  Had left adrenal
removed at 3.  No insulinoma.
 
3. Trixie - female, age 7.  Never been sick in her life (knocking
vigorously on wood).  She has gone blind over the last year and just
recently had a bad tooth removed, otherwise, she is healthy.  Bloodwork
last month showed everything completely normal.
