I will ask the vet about coagulation testing.
Ellie isn't on a mega dose of vitamin E and she isn't on fish oil at all.
I am uneasy with both and have put it off...I guess it's a good thing I did.

If the CBC comes back normal but the vet is still concerned abot clotting, I wouldn't be surprised if it was an issue caused by her liver her pancreas having to do with low vitamin K. I wonder if MSU can check for that.
