Corrie's blood test results are back. I won't bore you with all the normals. The RBC 5.22 (6.4-10), HCT 28.2 (32.0-47.0) RDW 17.9 (21-25)(MCV upper end of normal Hb low end of normal). So she isn't iron deficient. Is she low in B12 or folate or is this old age? Eosinophyl 2.4. Probably her recent exacerbation of COPD?. (wormed regularly) Everything else on the blood count was fine. Electrolytes were normal. Glucose 1.8 (2.8-6.5) Bilirubin 9 (17-50) Are these normal for her age? Triglycerides 0.71 (0.1-0.3) Who's been slipping her the Macdonalds. Does she need a diet. Is this due to lack of exercise this past month? Is it the beginning of IR? She is not fat as I can easily feel ribs.
I was rather hoping there would be a letter with the results. I will put my questions to the vet. I thought someone might be interestd in the results. Sue UK
