Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I am so sorry that this is happening! Yes, necropsy's include a full exam off all tissues including the brain. Any abnormal tissue is sent for biopsy. I would have it done at a lab like Antech or Idexx or at a Veterinary School. It is very likely that he is brain dead if his pupils are dilated and he isn't breathing on his own. I hope this helps!
