It sounds like you have a good, solid plan for the two of them. Poor girl with her LP That's not fair. Is she in pain? Has she had any trouble waking up from anesthesia in the past?
Yes I am thrilled about TJ. So what do you think? Are the diet and supplements helping him or he was fine to begin with?

Yes, I went to the files of liver support group. One of the forms that I pulled up was a Coagulation form. Is that was the Protein C test is for? If so, Roxy already had one at the Center for Specialized Care. Her Internal Medicine Specialist, also told me that she just recently came from Cornell and Dr. Center - so I am wondering if that is indeed the Protein C test.

This is the line on my bill:
Coagulation Prof 3 PT/PTT/PL (cost was $67)

Anyway, all of the test done on Roxy were in normal range, they didn't indicate anything wrong with her liver (other than the BAT)

As far as Roxy's LP - I don't think she is in pain, but I just feel that we went through all that effort to get them fixed in the first place, I just feel that Roxy deserves to have brand new legs - As far as I know, none of the operating Vets indicated any problems with Roxy and anesthesia.
