You really cannot always go by labs....it often has to be a combination of things. That's why it is so important not to get too upset about labs and it is often why many vets and doctors will not allow their staff to release labs to clients (they prefer to speak with the clients themselves)...it takes objective and subjective information to come up with a diagnosis. Better to leave diagnosiing to the pros.
I understand and totally agree, it's better to leave it to the pros. But, I like to be armed with knowing what to question.
