Okay here we go! I took Lucy to
Alexandria Veterinary Clinic this morning at 9:30am for her blood tests and bile acids. I am MUCH more comfortable with this clinic and I believe I have finally found my permanent Vet and clinic! YAY! I initially took her there for grooming and I really liked the groomer as well.
I dropped her off and when I went to pick her up I talked to Dr. Mark Christenson regarding the initial results (which I will post below) and just to touch base with him about Lucy's case. He was very
thorough and patient, he asked questions and allowed me to ramble on about what has been going on with her the past few weeks and it just seemed like the right fit. He wanted to know exactly what kind of food and treats I was giving her and asked me to bring the ingredient list back for both of them so he could look at it and keep it in her file, he also talked about a prescription diet but said we can determine if that is what she needs once the BA results come in.
I did speak to the Dr at Blue Pearl and let them know of my Vet change and they work with Alex Vet Clinic often and said that it was okay to have the tests done there and then AVC will fax them to BP and once all the results are in I will get a call from AVC and BP as well.
Here is what the initial testing came back with: ALKP: 28 ALT: 44 BUN: 16 CREA: 0.9 GLU: 96 TP: 6.4
We should get the BA results tomorrow or Monday!!! It sounds as though she ate well (which I was concerned about with the first test) and she was a VERY GOOD GIRL!!!
She came home hungry so I gave her a little food but didn't want to overfeed her because I wasn't sure how much she got this morning ~ I sent some of her regular food and they said she ate some of that and some of the food they gave her ~ so I didn't give her a lot. Now she is snug as a bug on her bed....it has been a long day already for her and she is very sleepy!!
Oh and she was due for a heartworm test as well and with all of this going on I forgot so we got that out of the way today too and that came back negative so we are all good there too!
Well, now I just have to pray that her BA test comes back good as well.
