Default Test Results

Okay my scanner is not working. The lab the vet sent the test to was IDEXX Laboratories. Not sure if anyone if familiar with them but they don't run on the typical 100 scale. And they don't provide a scale. But the thing they do tell me is that the pretest should be <7.0 umol/L which Jack was at 5.6 umol/L. And the post-test should be <15.0 umol/L and Jack had a 26.7 umol/L. And they flagged this as high.

I'm debating having him retested regardless of what this new vet says. Before, Jack was on a high protein food. I thought this might be best for him at the time because he is a very active dog. After that, I decided not to continue feeding it because both him and Madden picked around the food. I changed it to another holistic food but I believe it was higher in protein as well. I'm almost wondering if the low protein, magnesium reduced diet is helping. I'm very tempted to compare the tests and see if there is a difference between the tests. Does this sound awful? Any other suggestions.
