seeh2o Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I don't know what they mean, did your vet review and explain them with you?

carronstar Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 I can only read them against the OSU greyhound level. I did ask for a consult yesterday and this is the response: Dear Carron - I looked over the lab results you sent me (7/28/12 CBC, Chemistry, and Urinalysis; and 8/29/12 Chemistry). The slightly low albumin is a value we occasionally see in a healthy Greyhound, so I don't know if I would have diagnosed PLN, but I also don't have the complete picture, as I haven't seen Aquitaine myself. The home blood pressure reading is more accurate than the one done in the hospital - we call it 'White Coat Syndrome' when a dog's blood pressure increases at the veterinarian's office, as they get nervous (like we do!). So, I would say that the blood pressure of 140, which is a high-normal, is the most accurate. I hope this helps answer your questions.

seeh2o Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Maybe this is a long shot, but it appears to be a one day drive each way from NYC to Columbus (probably a 2 - 3 day trip all together). What about driving there for an in person physical and consultation? Be sure they have her medical records in advance to review. Just don't have them take her blood pressure! Aquitaine has the same affliction I do - white coat syndrome! Sadly, I've worked in a medical clinic for 20+ years and I still have it!

carronstar Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 The big girl's Cali girl mom doesn't drive. Never have. The specialist is from OSU. I am just going to keep on plugging away. I will, however, hold this potential good news in my mind and heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeh2o Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) OMG, I almost sprayed coffee on my screen, I needed a spoot warning for that! You're a born and bred SoCal girl and never drove!!! You are the rarest of Cali girlz, Carron! I'd forgotten that your specialist is from OSU, that's a good thing. It seemed like great news you got from OSU, too. Hugs to Miss A!
