Now to what really concerns me.
Her hemoglobin is up slightly which the vet isn't really concerned with.
Her platelets are 94,000 when they should be between 164,000 and 510,000. There could've been an issue with the blood sitting around and going to the lab and the people at the lab said the platelets looked okay, but this may not be good. Something else that is crossing the vet's mind is that Ellie took a long time to stop bleeding after her blood draw the other night. She wants her rechecked in less than a week.

I went back and checked on Max's last lab work, his platelets were also a bit low, the vet did not pay much attention to it, and faxed this, I'm sure it will put your mind at easy some
***Platelet clumping may be reduced by the use or larger gauge needles, jugular venipucture, or collection of blood directly into the vacutainer***
