|  Happy to hear Olivia is cooperating with meds. Neither of you need additional stress right now, so the easier route sure is better. Good luck Thursday. Will you have lab results right away or have to send out and wait? Also, I meant to ask you, how do they take blood pressure on a dog? I never thought of it, and haven't seen it done. Is there a BP cuff for canines? Just curious.

 It is not just like the b/p that they do with us...they have a pulse in their paws. They put a microphone there and tape it n place and then listen. Not sure if we will do in house or send out. I will leave that to the vet to decide. Thanks!

| My description was a bit off. I went to youtube to see if there are videos...and there are but there are different machines/techniques. There is a cuff involved...you just don't use a stethoscope...it is a little device like a microphone to hear the pulse. Here is a link to one that is similar to the one my vet uses:

| Olivia was seen today and yes, we have good news to share!! Her Alt is down to 204!! She does have some other elevations, but we were very happy that this came down so much in one week. Her B/P was 180/190/190 .. not terrible. Everything was faxed to the specialist. I have not heard from him yet...and may not since he knows I will know all is ok for now. She has appt with him this coming week (the 12th) to check her blood work and also do another UPC on her. OH...and the test for Lepto. I am so relieved right now.
