One of Layla's vets called this morning (man they are so great). She said Layla's Spec cPL came back high- 500. Over 400 means her pancreas is inflamed. She talked to the lab about how Layla has zero symptoms but her numbers are high. They talked about how a) Layla could just have high numbers or b) She could have some sort of infection or cyst on her pancreas. Back in Feb her numbers were good- this could be because the cyst had gone away or someting to that nature. The next step is to go to a University Vet Hospital an hour away to see an internalist and have an ultrasound. Last year we opted out of this beacuse everything had returned to normal- but she said for my peace of mind i might want to go so that way i would have an answer as to WHY her numebrs were high. And if there was a larger cyst on her pancreas- we should have it removed.
So that is what I know- not good, not bad- just... meh. I wish she didn't just have high numbers and that this was all normal but i am forever grateful that she continues to have zero symptoms and that we have wonderful vets who care so much about her.
I will let you know if we decide to do the ultrasound.
