As soon as I hear back from them I'll let you know what they say. I do know that she fasted for over 12 hours, they took blood, fed her and then two hours later took more blood. I'll just have to ask if the lab work was done in-house or not. I don't even know the numbers yet because by the time I listened to my vm message they were closed so they didn't leave details. I've left a message this morning to have a vet call me. The vet that did this last test is out of town starting today so they're handing it over to another vet which I'm not too worried about because the other vet started this whole process in the first place. I guess for now I'll wait to get more details from the vet and let you know what they say.
Thanks so much for all the great info!
