The last time Bella had a blood panel it was prior to being spayed and I'm sure it did not include a Thyroid Panel...so, no she has never had one. Do you think I should give her diet at least a week before running this panel or just do it as a base line?

Bella might have 1/2 of a tiny baby carrot (the kind that are peeled in those snack size bags)...maybe every other day. I'm not a really big treater...so, do you think even that little is too much sugar?

Just for the record...I may not be a big treater BUT, my girlies have a Toy Box (Basket) to die for!!! lol!

As for the dog food...that's what Bella's Vet spent a few minutes enlightening me on yesterday.
