Hello everyone, CEO Olivia here. A few weeks ago I had a visit with my good Vet, Dr. Facey of the Apsley Veterinary Services. While there they took samples of my blood for testing. Regular blood tests are very important to monitor the effect that my medications have on me. My AED’s (anti epileptic drugs) are harsh & over time they can compromise kidney & liver functions & cause other serious health issues.
I’m happy to report I’m in very good health & Dr. Facey was very pleased. I did show a slightly lower than normal level of Lymphocytes (white blood cells) which had my huMom concerned but this may just be normal for me. It may also be because I was excited from the car trip & visit, or it could be a mild infection, regardless, it’s something huMom will follow up on.
Getting blood test results can be overwhelming. There is a lot of information & a lot of it is in medical speak. I found a PDF chart that can help you understand your good dog’s blood work.

After a long exam & discussion my dental surgery is scheduled for January 23rd. HuMom is fighting off nervousness & is practicing PPT🐾
Both my good Vet & anesthesiologist have discussed my needs & are quite optimistic that a seizure is avoidable🐾

Thank you for sharing that chart. It will help me decipher Elsa’s next vet visit which is coming up soon. Hopefully she’ll have good therapeutic levels. Keep up the good work, Olivia.

Glad to hear your blood work results were good. The low WBC is probably nothing to worry about, but always a good idea to follow up anyway. Thanks for sharing the chart! It’s a good thing for any pet parent to have on hand.
