Two mornings ago, Austin wouldn't eat. I tried all of his favorite food, wet and dry. I tried treats. He wouldn't eat, and he seemed a little subdued. I called the vet and she wanted to see him. He's 3 years old, and she hadn't done blood tests on him prior to this. She did a thorough exam and everything checked out okay. She gave him Cerenia and Zofran injections (nausea) and Subcutaneous fluids because he was slightly dehydrated.
Her report on the blood test was everything was fine except his white blood cells were low normal. She's doing a re-check on that in 4-6 weeks.
However, looking at the lab results (which I can't understand) there are a couple out results I am concerned about. I know it's an issue when I try to interpret results myself abut if anyone can tell me what they mean, I would appreciate it. Otherwise, I will check with her when I talk to her next.
