No clumping or hemolysis is mentioned on the report. Would it be a comment or number?
The comments at the bottom state:
Hemotology - Unremarkable
Chemistry - No significant or diagnostic findings.
ALT moniter any vomiting? Given breed might want to check bile acids.
He does get stressed out. Remembers his needles I assume. He refuses treats from them and whines and shakes a bit.

Original Poster - in the future you might want to ask your vet to send it out. In-house bloodwork is fine in urgent situations, but it tends to be less accurate than when the blood is sent out to a lab. |
According to the header it's from a lab across the city. We went in before 10AM and I got the call at 530PM. Slow day maybe?
Thanks so much for the replies.
