Well, Thursday evening our vet called and said the blood work looked okay accept for the cholesterol. It was 1,800!!!!! Normal is under 200! She said she has no idea why it would be so high. She had me bring Sophie back in on Friday for a fasting blood draw, and we are waiting for the results. Anyone had this experience?
OMG! I didn't even know that dogs could have high cholesterol!! I hope all goes well for little Sophie on Friday
