We don't know what to do? We just don't understand how things could be fine for 3 days, then suddenly she goes downhill in less than a week! Her CBC from yesterday came back today with fairly normal values. Her White Blood Cells were slightly elevated with a "Shift To The Left"? Her Albumin (protein levels were low), but the vet thinks it is simply due to her lack of nutrition. Other than that... Phoebe's vitals, lung-sounds, heart-sounds, are all great. |
oh good will be awaiting this now did they do pre and post ? as they need to do both to truly test the liver and they did send out to a lab correct not inhouse as that is more accurate as well.
