So all I was going on was my personal past experience and I apologize if I lead anyone down a wrong path.
However, I did not mean to confuse or annoy and the important thing here is that the dog is sick and needs to be seen by a vet pronto. I hope that whatever is causing the dog to be sick needs to be investigated further and soon.
I also am aware that not all areas of the US have good vet and 24 hour vet hospital services, and I feel lucky that in my area I have both vet and urgent care services available at all times.
So apologies for any confusion I may have caused and hope to get a more positive update on the sick baby soon. |
No reason to apologize. No one is annoyed. I just felt that it needed clarification. This test has always been the same. I think you are confusing it with the lipase and amylase because they are also used...but, as you said, the cPL is better for a definitive diagnosis.
