Thank you. I'll try that search term. I didn't have a lack of luck finding some of the information I was seeking - I was having a lack of luck figuring out which places I should believe were reputable.
I didn't know if I should look at companies who are selling products. I didn't know if I should look at any particular dog group or dog.com per se or whatever, because I don't know how knowledgeable each of those might be.
That's why I hoped there would be some .edu or something - that I hoped meant they were knowledgeable. But I wasn't having good luck with that train of thought.
I did not use the particular search term you gave (but tried a number such as: dog and chemistry; dog and hematology, dog and ALKP, for example; also Merck Veterinary Manual, etc. etc.), but I will try it. I did look at the link you sent and I see it did give explanations for those items it listed (I haven't read through them yet). I did check back against my list and still have 18 items that were not identified. Like I said, some of them may just be that the abbreviations being used are different.
I'll do some more checking tomorrow with your search term, thanks.

Note: Google "dog lab values" to get many sites.
