Donna- I stay out of this section a lot too; mainly due to the fact I'm not very knowledgable about a lot of the topics & can really only offer my support. I know that's important too but the heartache got to be too much for me so I stay away.
From what I've learned a yearly bloodwork is the best preventive thing we can do for our dogs. Going forward, my dogs will have yearly bloodwork done so that if there's something going on they will hopefully spot it before it gets out of hand. The reason I had the bile acid test added was because Bella was vomiting bile very frequently & I want to know WHY & how to make her better. Like most YTers, I'm not a vet & I'd suggest talking over concerns with your vet. I'm sure if Lola had abnormal bloodwork your vet would let you know. |
